What is the proper way to brake in an emergency situation with non-anti-lock braking system brakes?
Pump the brake pedal constantly to the point where the tires begin to skid but release pressure when they begin to lockup.
What is the proper way to use the anti-lock brakes in a emergency situation?
Stomp the brakes and steer around the obstruction without releasing the brakes.
What is the proper way to use antilock brakes in an emergency situation?
Push down on the brake pedal and hold it there, do not pump.Apply the brakes in an even manner until the braking system starts to pulse and vibrates the brake peddle. This is how anti lock brakes tell you you are getting the most available braking from them.Keep enough pressure or force on the peddle until the vehicle comes to a stop.
What is the proper way to use anti-lock brakes in an emergency stopping situation?
Slam on the brakes and steer around the obstruction. Do not pump the brakes. The ABS will do this for you. Be prepared for noises and a shudder in the brake pedal which is normal.

Step on brake until the brake peddle starts to shake and make sure that it continues to until the car comes to a complete stop. (the vibration is a warning that the anti-lock system is working and there is no more braking effect available)This ensures you are getting as much from the brakes as is possible.If you need to steer the car while braking this way move the steering GENTLY!!

Put your foot on the brake and keep it firmly there as long as you want to stop. ABS will do the rest.
What is the proper way to use you anti lock brakes in a emergency situation?
Stomp your brakes and keep strong pressure on them while at the same time steering around the obstruction if possible. You will hear lots of noise and feel vibration in the brake pedal. All of this is normal so do not release the brake pedal.
What is the proper way to use anti lock brakes in an emergency situation?
anti lock brakes ( ABS) will automatically work when ether the brake is applied heavily or the wheel looses traction on the road surfaces when braking you will feel the brake peddle "bounce" rapidly this dose not work on most cars doing under 30mph as the vehicle is not doing a sufficent speed for it to be affected Stomp the brake and steer around the obstruction. Do not release the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes. The Anti-Lock brake system will do this for you.
How do you brake properly?
Proper Braking of a vehicle(with drum brakes) depends on two reasons:- 1>The level of brake oil is proper 2>The brake shoes are in good condition And further ensure that there is minimal moisture in the break shoe region and proper cleaning will enhance the braking experience. In a vehicle with disc brake maintaining the brake oil level and assuring that the disc has not become smooth will give a good braking experience.
What is a proper way to use anti lock brakes in an emergency situation?
Stomp the brake and steer the vehicle. You should try this at least a couple of times just to know what it feels like. The brake pedal will pulsate and you will hear some really weird noises. This is normal and indicates the system is working. Once you stomp the brakes in an emergency do not release the brake. Simply steer the vehicle out of danger. People are startled by what happens and release the brake, which is the wrong thing to do.
What is the proper braking technique when driving a vehicle with anti-lock brakes?
You don't need to pump the brakes, as you have in older cars. Answer When you drive a vehicle with ABS, you should brake as you always have. in other words. 1. Use only the braking force necessary to stop safety and stay in control. 2. Brake the sane way, regardless of whether you have ABS on the bus, tractor, the trailer, or both. 3. As you slow down, monitor your tractor and trailer and back off the brakes (if it is safety to do so) to stay in control. There is only one exception to do this procedure. if you drive a straight truck or combination with working ABS on all axles, in an emergency stop you can fully apply the brakes. (New York State CDL manual, Section 2 Driving safety, page 2-46)
Why should you be in the proper gear before starting down a hill in a semi-truck?
supposedly the proper gear for going down a hill in a semi is the same gear it would take to get up the hill. this came about years ago when trucks and braking systems were not as good as they are today. the reason for this being that the negine would keep you slowed enuff to control the truck if the brakes failed. remember that years ago semis did not have air brakes In my opinion it is still safer on long steep grades to select a low gear (possibly even lower than the gear that you ascended the hill in) to decend a grade. My reasoning is this. Even with air brakes the greatest majority of class 8 trucks in North America have drum brakes that when overheated by too much use expand the drum and lessen the stopping capacity of the brakes. If you constantly using the brakes while traveling downhill you degrade your stopping power until the drums cool again and return to their original size. If you decend a grade at a speed where your Jake brakes sustain your speed and you do not have to touch the service brake pedal in an emergency situation you have the full capability of your drum brakes to slow the truck.
