What might be the result of too strong braking of a passenger car not fitted with the ABS?
Description
Principles of braking system operation and braking methods without ABS.
Explanation
Correct answer: Losing steerability.
In a vehicle without an ABS system, braking too hard leads to the wheels locking up. Locked wheels stop rotating and start to slide on the road surface, causing an almost complete loss of grip and making it impossible to steer the vehicle. As a result, the driver loses control of the vehicle's path and cannot avoid an obstacle.
