What are anti-lock brakes?

Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are a safety feature in vehicles designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during sudden and hard braking. The primary purpose of ABS is to help the driver maintain steering control and prevent skidding while braking, especially in emergency situations or on slippery road conditions.

How do car brakes work?

Car brakes are a key component of a vehicle's safety system, allowing drivers to slow down or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The basic principle of how car brakes work involves converting kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into heat energy to slow down the vehicle. There are two main types of braking systems in most cars: disc brakes and drum brakes.
