Question 994 in the bank

What is “wheel locking”?

  1. Preventing the wheel from turning while releasing the screw nuts that hold it.
  2. It is a device attached to one of the vehicle’s wheels, to prevent movement while parking on a very steep slope.
  3. ”Booting” one of the vehicle’s wheels by a certified authority.
  4. Correct answer: The vehicle’s wheels stop turning as a result of strong and continuous braking.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle’s wheels stop turning as a result of strong and continuous braking.

Wheel locking happens when the wheels stop turning while the vehicle is still moving, because of strong and continuous braking. The tyres then skid, grip is reduced and steering control is lost. ABS is designed to prevent this. Booting by an authority or a device used when parking on a slope is not what this term means.
