Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are a safety feature in modern vehicles that help prevent wheels from locking up during sudden or hard braking. This technology helps drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency braking situations, reducing the risk of accidents. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at what anti-lock brakes are and how they work. What Are Anti-Lock Brakes? Anti-lock brakes are a type of braking system that uses sensors and electronic controls to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking. When a driver applies the brakes suddenly or hard, the ABS system senses the speed of each wheel and adjusts the brake pressure to prevent the wheels from locking up. This allows the driver to maintain control of the vehicle and steer around obstacles or avoid accidents. How Do Anti-Lock Brakes Work? Anti-lock brakes work by using sensors to detect the speed of each wheel. If the ABS system detects that a wheel is about to lock up, it reduces the brake pressure ... read more
