Question: In a collision-avoidance situation, steer rather than brake when:
Answer options: ✅ You have ABS and room to manoeuvre
- There is oncoming traffic
- At low speed
- Never
Correct answer: You have ABS and room to manoeuvre
Explanation: Steering to avoid an obstacle is the correct action when your vehicle has ABS and you have room to maneuver because the anti-lock braking system prevents wheel lock-up, allowing you to steer safely while braking. Steering is highly dangerous when there is oncoming traffic, whereas at low speeds, simply braking is usually safer and more effective than swerving. Therefore, "never" is incorrect because evasive steering is a proven defensive tactic. Under SAAQ safe-driving guidelines, understanding how ABS preserves steering capability during emergency stops is critical. Expect SAAQ exam questions to test your knowledge of how vehicle safety technology influences emergency handling and collision avoidance.
