Category - Emergencies

In an emergency situation, if you need to brake hard yet still maintain the ability to turn, which of the following should you NOT do?
  1. Use the "controlled braking" method.
  2. Use the "stab braking" method.
  3. Set the parking brake.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - If, for instance, another driver pulls out in front of you suddenly and you need to brake hard and fast while still being able to maintain control of the vehicle, you should NOT set the parking brake. Setting the parking brake will almost certainly cause your vehicle to skid and you will lose most, if not all, of your ability to steer or turn in a controlled fashion. It is better to use either the "controlled braking" method of stopping or the "stab braking" method of stopping.
