Q #563 - Anti-lock brakes reduce the chances of skidding. When is this particularly important?
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) will operate when the brakes have been applied harshly and the wheels are about to lock, such as during an emergency. ABS will reduce the likelihood of your car skidding, but it isn't a substitute for safe and responsible driving.

| When you're braking during normal driving | |
| When you're braking in an emergency | |
| When you're driving on good road surfaces |
