Question 32 of 42

What is the purpose of an anti-lock braking system (ABS)?

It helps avoid a collision with the vehicle in front.
It prevents tire skids and the accompanying loss of steering control.

Explanation:

"The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to monitor the speed of a vehicle's wheels during braking. If it detects an abnormal drop in wheel speed, indicating a potential wheel lock, the system reduces the brake force applied to that wheel. This mechanism helps prevent tire skids and maintains steering control."
It locks the wheel to stop the vehicle more easily.
All of the above

Previous Next

Question 33 of 42

To get your vehicle out of a skid, you should first:

Steer straight ahead
Steer in the opposite direction of the skid
