Sample conditions, emergencies and crashes questions

    D. Press hard, hold steady pressure, and steer

    With ABS, press the brake hard, keep steady pressure and steer out of danger. Pumping is for conventional brakes; pumping or easing off an ABS pedal makes the ABS disengage.

  2. 2. Your gas pedal sticks in an automatic car. You have already taken your foot off the gas. What should you do next?

    • A. Shift into neutral
    • B. Shift into park
    • C. Turn off the engine
    • D. Slam on the brakes
    Show the answer

    A. Shift into neutral

    For a jammed gas pedal, take your foot off the gas, then shift into neutral (or press the clutch in a manual car). Shut off the engine only if those steps fail, because you will lose steering ability.
