Anti-lock brakes prevent the vehicle’s wheels from locking under heavy braking. What will this help to reduce?

Explanation: The anti-lock braking system (ABS) activates automatically when the brakes are applied. It prevents the wheels from locking, so reducing the likelihood of a skid developing. ABS doesn't remove the need for good driving practices such as anticipation and driving at the correct speed for the conditions.
