Why are ABS used?

  1. To increase vehicle speed

  2. To allow you to steer while braking

  3. To decrease fuel consumption

  4. To improve car audio system

The correct answer is: To allow you to steer while braking

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is a safety feature in vehicles that prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking. This allows the driver to maintain steering control while braking, reducing the risk of skidding or losing control of the vehicle. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because ABS does not directly impact vehicle speed, fuel consumption, or the car's audio system. Its main purpose is to ensure safe and controlled braking.
