Which method of emergency braking involves applying the brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels?

stab braking
controlled braking
gradual reduction
emergency stopping

The correct answer is: controlled braking

The method of emergency braking that involves applying the brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels is known as controlled braking. This technique allows the driver to maintain steering control while decelerating, which is crucial in emergency situations. By pressing the brake pedal firmly but not to the point of locking the wheels, this method helps facilitate a stop while also providing the ability to maneuver if necessary. This is particularly important for larger vehicles, like those driven by chauffeurs, where maintaining control over the vehicle's handling can make a significant difference in safely navigating potential hazards on the road. The other methods mentioned might include elements of braking but do not emphasize the priority of maintaining control and avoiding wheel lockup as strongly as controlled braking does.
