When emergency braking, what is the difference between conventional brakes and anti-lock brakes (ABS)?

All drivers need to do with vehicles who have ABS is press down hard on the brake pedal, hold it and steer out of danger. In an emergency situation, ABS pumps the brakes for the driver and pumps the brakes at a much faster rate than the driver ever could. Drivers should be aware that removing steady pressure from the brake pedal or pumping the brakes will disengage or quot;turn off quote; the ABS.

What should you do if your tires begin to skid while driving?



Answer:

Second, keep your eyes focused on a target in the distance. Choose a point further down the road, in the direction you are headed, and stay focused on this object. With this target in view, you'll be better able to redirect your car so that it is once again traveling in the right direction.

When should you increase your following distance?

When should you increase your following distance?



Answer:

Watch when the rear of the vehicle ahead passes a sign, pole or any other stationary point.
Count the seconds it takes you to reach the same sign, pole, or stationary point (one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two).
You are following too closely if you pass the stationary point before one-thousand-two.
Reduce speed and then count again at another stationary point to check the new following interval. Repeat until you are following no closer than "three-seconds."
