Too Afraid to Ask

ABS brakes help you stop your car without the wheels getting stuck. This means you can still steer while braking, which is really important in slippery situations like rain or snow.

Technical Definition

ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, a safety feature in vehicles that prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control. This system is particularly useful in slippery conditions, as it helps to prevent skidding and loss of control.
