Emergency Stop

With ABS, press the brake pedal hard and keep it pressed, even when it pulses. Many cars flash the brake lights or switch on the hazard lights automatically during hard braking. Driving tests in many countries include an emergency stop. Keep a safe following distance so you rarely need to make an emergency stop.

Maximum braking force is applied while ABS stops the wheels from locking, so you can still steer around an obstacle.

Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and look where you want to go. Once stopped, check your mirrors and switch on the hazard lights if you are a danger to others.
