Explanation
In emergency situations with conventional brakes, pumping the brakes is the correct technique when traction is lost and your car begins to slide. This prevents the wheels from locking up and allows you to regain control.
If your vehicle is equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), apply firm, even pressure on the brake pedal and steer out of danger, as the ABS system automatically pumps the brakes at a faster rate than you can.
