Your car has ABS and you must stop fast on an icy road. How do you use the brake pedal?

  1. Pump it again and again
  2. Tap it once, then let go
  3. Hold it down and steer
  4. Press it and shift to neutral
Show answer

Correct answer: Hold it down and steer

ABS stops the wheels from locking, so you can brake and steer together. Do not pump the pedal.
