When driving a vehicle equipped with ABS brakes the best way to stop in an emergency is?
Apply the brakes. Do not 'pump' the brakes ... that's what your dad learned, in the 70's. ABS means that the brakes will automatically apply and release in micro-second bursts (faster than you could ever do it) to prevent the brakes from locking up and to prevent the tires from skidding. All you do is hold the brake pedal down, steer in the direction you are heading in case you start to skid, and then smoothly accelerate.
