When sharply depressing the brake pedal of a vehicle WITHOUT an anti-lock braking system (ABS) on ice, what happens:
Correct answer
- Locking of the vehicle's wheels and the vehicle becomes unsteerable.
Other options
- Maximum braking effect, where the vehicle stops with the shortest braking distance.
- Locking of the rear axle wheels, while the vehicle remains steerable.
Explanation
Locked wheels = No steering: Without ABS, hard braking locks the wheels (they stop spinning and slide).
