After driving through a ford, you see a plate instructing drivers to test their brakes. What should you do?
Check braking gently after leaving the water.✓Richtige Antwort
Stop in the ford and apply the parking brake.
Accelerate firmly to dry the brakes without testing them.
Use only the parking brake for the next mile.
Erklärung
Water can reduce braking effectiveness, so the instruction calls for a cautious brake check after the crossing. Accelerating immediately would leave any loss of braking performance undiscovered until a later stop is needed.
