You suddenly have to brake when cornering on a wet carriageway. What special aspects exist with a vehicle equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS)?

When braking while cornering on a wet carriageway in a vehicle equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), it’s important to understand how ABS affects vehicle stability and steering.

The first aspect, that the steering capability is retained longer, is crucial because ABS prevents the wheels from locking up, allowing the driver to maintain steering control even under hard braking. This is especially important on slippery surfaces where losing control can lead to skidding.

However, it's not accurate to say that the vehicle will always remain stable (the second option) or that it cannot skid out of the bend (the third option). While ABS improves stability and helps prevent skidding, it does not guarantee complete stability, especially if the conditions are very poor or if the driver applies the brakes too hard.

Therefore, all aspects of braking, particularly in wet conditions and while cornering, should be understood in context; ABS aids in control but cannot eliminate risks entirely. It's essential to moderate speed and adjust braking input based on road conditions to enhance safety effectively.
