What is the purpose of using the ABS system in a passenger car?

Description

Art. 19 para. 2 pt. 2) in conjunction with Art. 66 para. 1 pt. 1) of the Act of 20 June 1997, Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Preventing losing stability and ensuring steerability of the vehicle while braking.

The main purpose of the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is to prevent the wheels from locking up during heavy braking. Because the wheels continue to rotate, the driver maintains steering control of the vehicle. This allows, for example, to steer around an obstacle during emergency braking, which would be impossible with locked wheels.
