However, theres 2 Fisk that road holding and directional control tmay be lost and the wheels may lock when braking, depending on the nature ofthe ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The antilock braking system (ABS) has been Gesigned to combat this danger. The safety enhancement is that the brake control system. prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and this its direction to be controlled. Under these circumstances iis quit possible for the river to staer the vehicle and to avoid an cbstacle whilse atthe sime time applying the brakes. Also this systemallows you to optimise topping distance: when the adhesion of ane or more wheels becomes hazardous (wet roads, tlppery or varying read surfaces). Under bad Foadholding conditions (snow, black ie) leting the clutch out improves your steering ability.
