In an emergency, keep both hands on the steering wheel and brake firmly while maintaining control. Avoid locking the wheels, do not touch the parking brake and use the clutch just before stopping.
Progressive braking
Apply light pressure, gradually increase it as the vehicle slows and ease off as you come to a smooth stop. Practise in safe conditions and allow for road and weather conditions.
Defensive driving
Look well ahead, watch for children and pedestrians, and always drive at a speed that lets you stop safely within the distance you can see to be clear.
