Unless your car was made before 2004, it will have anti-lock brakes. Part of the Driving Theory Test has a section covering anti-lock brakes where you’ll be asked questions on ABS and provided with multiple choice answers to select from.
If you are a little unsure on exactly what anti-lock brakes are, how they work and how best to use them, take a read of the anti-lock braking system guide before taking the anti-lock brakes theory test quiz below. The ABS quiz will test your knowledge just as the real theory test will.
After you have selected an answer, you’ll be immediately informed on whether you selected the correct or incorrect answer by selecting the ‘Check’ button. You can now select this button again to continue the quiz.
At the end of the quiz you can view all the answers you selected and whether they are right or wrong by selecting the ‘View Questions’ button. Some questions may require more than one answer. If you are unsure of an answer, the ‘Hint’ button will provide you with some knowledge.

2. Question
Anti-lock brakes are of most use when
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Theory test knowledge and understanding
Anti-lock brakes only become active under heavy braking and are not necessary under normal braking. Continuous anticipation and planning is required whilst driving to avoid sudden and unexpected situations that may require excessive braking.
