If you need to stop quickly and your vehicle lacks anti lock brakes (ABS), you can use:

• A. Coasting to a stop
• B. Pumping the brakes
• C. Anti-lock braking method
• D. Controlled braking method or stab braking

Answer: (D)

When you’re stopping quickly in a vehicle without ABS, you have to manage brake pressure so the wheels don’t lock up and you can still steer. The best approach is controlled braking: press the brakes firmly and steadily and maintain enough pressure to maximize stopping power without letting the wheels skid. If you sense the wheels starting to lock, you can use stab braking—push hard enough to reach the point of lock, then release briefly to regain traction, and repeat as needed. This technique helps you stop as quickly as possible while keeping control of the vehicle.

Coasting to a stop provides no braking and increases stopping distance. Pumping the brakes is a different method some drivers use to avoid lockup, but the recommended practice for quick stops on non-ABS vehicles is controlled braking or stab braking.
