Answer 1

In an emergency stop, the correct response is to avoid locking the brakes. This technique helps maintain control of the vehicle and allows for better stopping power, especially on wet or slippery surfaces. Slamming on the brakes or using the parking brake can lead to loss of control, so the best practice is to brake firmly yet safely without locking the wheels.
