How should a driver react in an emergency braking situation?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
To perform an **emergency braking**, it is important to know if your vehicle has **conventional brakes** or **ABS brakes** (Anti-lock Braking System), as the procedure varies depending on the type of brakes.
- **Vehicles without ABS**: You should press the brake pedal firmly and fully. When you feel the wheels start to lock, slightly lift your foot off the brake to avoid total wheel lock, but continue braking. This helps maintain control of the vehicle and avoid skidding.
- **Vehicles with ABS**: Press the brake pedal firmly and fully and keep it that way until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The ABS system will prevent the wheels from locking, allowing you to maintain control of the vehicle during braking.
Therefore, it is crucial to act differently depending on the type of brakes your vehicle has to ensure safe and effective braking.
