The ABS Education Alliance has some driving tips to help keep you safe on the roads this spring. Know your brakes. ABS is widely recognized by government and industry leaders as one of the most significant safety advances in modern automotive engineering. When properly used, four-wheel ABS improves vehicle steerability, stability and stopping capability in emergency situations. Rear-wheel ABS is designed to maintain directional stability and prevent the light truck from skidding sideways in emergencies.
ABS prevents wheel lock, which can cause skidding and a loss of control in emergency situations.
Drivers can benefit from ABS not only in the spring, but in all seasons. ABS prevents wheel lock, which can cause skidding and a loss of control in severe weather conditions. With ABS, a driver can maintain control, allowing the car to go where the driver steers it. The ABS Education Alliance encourages drivers to practice operating every vehicle they drive. As a driver, not only should you become familiar with your ABS in a non-emergency situation, such as an open parking lot or driver education range, but you should also practice ABS techniques on a variety of road conditions.
