What should you do if you have to perform an emergency braking manoeuvre with a truck equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS)?

The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents the wheels from locking during heavy braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control of the vehicle. For the system to function with maximum effectiveness, the brake pedal must be depressed with full force and the pressure maintained, even when the characteristic pulsing is felt. Simultaneously depressing the clutch pedal prevents the engine from stalling and a loss of power assistance, which is crucial for maintaining full control of the vehicle.
