In a vehicle without ABS, what should you do while turning to maintain control?

Apply brakes gently and turn the steering wheel
Step on the brake firmly and turn sharply
Pull the handbrake and turn
Accelerate slightly while turning

The correct answer is: Apply brakes gently and turn the steering wheel

In a vehicle without Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), it is important to apply the brakes gently while turning to maintain control. Applying the brakes too firmly can cause the wheels to lock up and potentially lead to a loss of control. By gently applying the brakes and turning the steering wheel smoothly, you can effectively navigate the turn while keeping the vehicle stable. Option A is the correct choice because it emphasizes the need for gentle brake application in a vehicle without ABS. This helps to prevent skidding and maintain control of the vehicle during the turn. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest actions that are not recommended for maintaining control while turning in a vehicle without ABS. Firmly stepping on the brake, pulling the handbrake, or accelerating while turning can all increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle, especially in situations where traction is limited.
