Why is it unwise to suddenly apply the brakes of a car on a wet or icy pavement?

-Don't slam on the brakes -Grip steering wheel -Take foot off gas -Gently apply brakes -Check traffic and return to pavement

Apply the brakes immediately and swing the back onto the pavement quickly

If your vehicle has abs brakes, just apply the brakes hard and steer away from danger. If the vehicle does not have abs brakes, try to apply the brakes without locking up the wheels and going into a skid then steer away from danger. If you lock up the brakes and go into a skid you will lose control of your steering.

The answer will depend on the quality of the brakes on your motorcycle, how hard you apply them, the road conditions (dry/wet). So there is no single answer.

Hold the steering wheel firmly; release the gas pedal; and gently apply the brakes. Return to the pavement when the vehicle has slowed enough to allow roll steer back onto the highway safely.

Take your foot off the accelerator, and slowly move back on the road. Do not jerk the wheel or apply the brakes.

That's going to depend on the weight of the car, the composition of the pavement, the tire-tread, whether the brakes apply to 2 wheels or to 4, and whether the pavement is wet, dry, oil-slicked, clean, dirty, rough, or smooth.

no, just the wheels the brakes apply to, usually the front brakes

Time for new brakes or adjustment.

apply your brakes gently as you accelerate

Apply the brakes hard and steer out of danger.

Try putting in neutral at the time and see if it makes a difference. I had a similar problem w/1991 Lincoln and found that it was a recall from Ford. When brakes got warm they would apply, due to defective master cylinder

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

apply your brakes gently while accelerating at the same time

No, that is not true. Water is going to get on the rotor and on the pads no matter what you do. This water will quickly evaporate once you apply the brakes. Even if you do not apply the brakes centrifugal force will remove the water as you drive. Once you apply the brakes the heat created will remove the water very quickly. You may experience a slight loss of good braking the first time…

Parking brakes apply generally on rear wheels to control enough sliding of the vehicle.

vacuum leak 65 power brakes run off a vacuum, when you apply your brakes you stop the air leak. 65;

your back brakes are supposed to apply before your front brakes, they do this so your car does not take a nose dive every time you apply the brakes. but if it is very noticeable i would check the adjustment of your rear brakes (if you have a disc/drum setup) or i would check your proportioning valve if they are locking up

your car is probably trashy

Ease up on the throttle, apply the brakes.

Could be contaminated brake fluid

The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.

Its not your brakes making the noise. Most liklly your CV joint is warn out.

back up your car and apply the brakes, do this till there adjusted you will notice the difference on the brack pedal.

You would only do it in an emergency.
