Which braking method do you apply in the event of an ABS failure on a slippery surface?
aPulse braking.
bPushing the brake pedal all the way down.
cPulling up the handbrake.
Why?
If ABS has failed on a slippery surface, use cadence braking: apply the brake and ease the pressure when the wheels lock. This lets the wheels rotate again and helps you retain steering control. The picture shows a wet road and pedestrians crossing, making control during braking particularly important. Holding the pedal fully down can lock the wheels, while applying the handbrake can cause a skid.
