Which of the following emergency braking techniques should be applied in a passenger car fitted with ABS?

Description

Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for driving licences, instructors and lecturers - Annex No. 1, pt. II.

Explanation

Correct answer: Quickly and firmly depress the brake pedal.

In a vehicle equipped with an ABS system, during emergency braking, you should press the brake pedal with maximum force and hold it until the vehicle stops. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents the wheels from locking, which allows you to maintain steering control and avoid an obstacle. The driver may feel vibrations on the brake pedal, which is a normal sign of the system working, and you should not release the pressure then.
