Antilock brake systems (ABS)
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, test the brakes in order to understand how your vehicle will react during emergency braking. It is useful to practice this maneuver with a qualified driving instructor.
ABS brakes detect the speed at which the vehicle wheels turn during braking. If a wheel rotates slower, which means it could crash, the system reduces the braking force applied to that wheel. This is how the system prevents tire skid, allowing the driver to maintain control of the vehicle. The anti-lock system makes the vehicle safer when the brakes are highly stressed or when to brake in conditions where traction is poor.
Although the anti-lock systems reduce wheel lock risk, this does not mean that the braking distance will be shorter. Drivers who do not know the ABS system may be surprised to find that they can feel the pulse when applying the brakes firmly. Know what to expect to not be distracted (s) pulsation or attempt (s) to release the pressure on the pedal during an emergency braking maneuver.
Threshold braking should allow you to stop quickly in your lane keeping control of your vehicle, even if the road is slippery. This technique is generally used with a vehicle that is not equipped with an antilock braking system. Brake as firmly as possible until a wheel begins to block, and then release the pedal slightly to release the wheel. Press the brake pedal in order to maximize the possible braking power without causing skidding. If you feel that a wheel starts to lock, slightly release the pedal and press it again. Do not pump the brakes. Repeat this maneuver until the vehicle slows to the desired speed.
Vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking system should help curb maintaining control of the vehicle on slippery surfaces, automatically; press the brake pedal and let the system control wheel lock.
