If the antilock braking system (ABS) on your bus stops working, what should you do?
Correct answer: Keep driving and braking normally, and get the ABS repaired soon.
Answer options
- AKeep driving and braking normally, and get the ABS repaired soon Correct
- BPull over right away and wait for the dispatcher to send help

A failed ABS still leaves the regular brakes working, so there is no reason to stop the bus or panic; simply brake as you normally would. Have the system fixed soon, though, instead of waiting for routine maintenance.
