To dry off wet brakes, drivers should do any of the following EXCEPT:
  1. Applying light pressure to the brakes to heat them up
  2. Pumping the brakes rapidly
  3. Pulling over and let the brakes dry off
  4. None of the above are correct actions.
Explanation
Answer: B - When brakes get wet drivers should not pump their brakes to dry them off. This can lead to the wheels slipping on the road. The better options are to pull over and let the brakes dry with time, or to gently apply some brake pressure to build up heat which will dry the brakes. Once the brakes are dry it is important to test them by driving slowly and hitting the brakes to see if they grab correctly. If they do not, they are probably still wet.
