Correct answer
- Bevitar pisar el freno.avoid pressing the brake.
The danger of driving vehicles without ABS (anti-lock braking system) on slippery surfaces is that the wheels lock and you lose control of the vehicle (the steering will not respond). So the brake should only be used when strictly necessary and very gently. Remember that braking distance, the distance the vehicle travels from the moment you press the brake until it stops completely, increases with the weather: up to 2 times longer in rain and up to 10 times longer on ice.
