What should drivers do during emergency braking with ABS?

During emergency braking with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), drivers should brake consistently and steer. The ABS helps to prevent the wheels from locking up while braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control during an emergency stop. When the ABS is activated, the driver should push firmly on the brake pedal and maintain pressure, rather than pumping the brakes or releasing them. This provides optimal braking power while also allowing the driver to steer around obstacles if necessary.

Maintaining a steady brake pressure ensures that the ABS can activate properly, allowing for maximum deceleration while still allowing the driver to maneuver the vehicle if needed. This ability to steer while braking is crucial in emergency situations, where avoiding a collision is often as important as stopping the vehicle itself.
