Safe DrivingQuestion 67 of 80
Antilock braking systems (ABS) are designed to:
a.Let you stop in a much shorter distance
b.Replace the need to slow down for curves
c.Keep the wheels from locking up so you can maintain steering control during hard braking
d.Work only on dry roads
Explanation
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during hard braking, which lets the driver retain steering control and avoid skidding. It does not necessarily shorten stopping distance; its benefit is control. Drivers should brake firmly and steer as needed, letting the ABS do its job without pumping the pedal.
