On an icy road, if your vehicle does not have ABS, it is preferable to...
A)use the handbrake.
B)press the brake fully, together with the clutch.
C)avoid pressing the brake.Correct
The danger of driving vehicles without ABS (anti-lock braking system) on slippery surfaces is that the wheels lock up and control of the vehicle is lost (the steering will not respond).
Therefore, the brake should only be used when strictly necessary and very gently.
Let us remember that the braking distance — the metres the vehicle travels from the moment the brake is applied until it comes to a complete stop — increases with weather conditions. In rain it can increase up to 2 times more and on ice up to 10 times more.
