This system prevents accidents like this, when you lose control of the steering as you apply the brakes. With ABS, you will be able to steer the vehicle properly and it also reduces the braking distance. What is ABS? How is it able to prevent accidents due to the braking? To properly understand ABS, we first need to understand the principles of steering and braking. When you press the brake pedal, the brake pads on the wheel disks will be activated and press against the disks, and this will stop the rotation of the wheels. As the wheels stop, this causes slippage between the road and wheels, and the vehicle stops due to this friction. let's understand the steering mechanism. The whole steering mechanism is dependent on the simple principle of the wheels rolling. The wheels will always try to avoid slipping on the road. this means that the velocity of th...
