When skidding should you apply a quick motion pumping to your brake?
No, if your car has ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) do not pump your brakes. The anti lock system does this for you.
If your vehicle is skidding sideways what do you do?
To regain control of a skidding vehicle, ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want to go. Avoid sudden movements or braking, as this can worsen the skid. Once the vehicle straightens out, gently apply the brakes if needed.
If the brakes fail on your vehicle the parking breaks may be used to help stop the vehicle as well?
Yes, the parking brakes can be used to stop the vehicle in emergency. But remember that, in most of the vehicles parking brakes apply only to one pair of wheels, so if the vehicle is in high speed, one has to apply them carefully and save the vehicle from skidding.
Which of the following is the best way to use their Anti-Lock Brakes?
Stomp, & Steer. Anti-lock brakes allow you to apply full braking force and still be able to steer the vehicle around an obstruction. Let the Ant-Lock do what it was designed to do which is prevent skidding.
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.

While driving, apply the brakes gently for a short distance, as you maintain your speed.

What does the ABS mean in your Ford truck?
ABS means either Antilock Braking System or Anti-Blockier System, depending on where you live. (What it does: if you stomp really hard on the brakes, it will rapidly apply and release the brakes for you, keeping you from skidding out of control and crashing.) If the ABS light is on in your Ford truck, that means the electronics that control the anti-lock part of your brakes are not working, and you need to take the truck to a mechanic.
