Explanation
When driving on snow or ice, stopping your vehicle can be challenging. If your vehicle is equipped with antilock brakes (ABS), you should press the brake pedal firmly and not pump the brakes. ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking up and allows you to maintain control of your steering while braking. Pumping the brakes can cause the wheels to lock up, leading to loss of control.
