Question: ABS (Anti-lock Brakes) work best when you:
Answer options:
- Pump the pedal ✅ Press and hold firmly while steering
- Release the pedal
- Use the handbrake
Correct answer: Press and hold firmly while steering
Explanation: Under Ontario MTO guidelines, Anti-lock Braking Systems require you to press and hold the brake pedal firmly while steering around hazards. The system automatically pumps the brakes to prevent wheel lockup, allowing you to maintain steering control. Pumping the pedal manually is the most common incorrect choice; it is only used for older, non-ABS vehicles and actually deactivates the ABS system. Releasing the pedal stops braking, while using the handbrake can lock the rear wheels and cause a skid. For the G1 exam, remember that ABS means applying continuous, hard pressure without pumping, which is a highly tested defensive driving concept.
