When slowing your vehicle, what should you do?

Answer: A — Use your brakes smoothly

Slowing down your vehicle smoothly decreases the amount of stress placed on your brakes, causing them to require less maintenance and last longer. Using your brakes smoothly also makes for a more comfortable ride for passengers, as abrupt stops can cause discomfort. Pushing your brakes quickly can result in sudden and jerky stops, leading to potential accidents or discomfort for passengers. Honking your horn and flashing your hazard lights are both unnecessary and potentially distracting actions when attempting to slow your vehicle.
