If your bus is equipped with ABS, you can expect your stopping distance to be shortened by...?

  1. 10%

  2. 20%

  3. 0%

  4. 5%

The correct answer is: 0%

If your bus is equipped with ABS, it does not directly affect your stopping distance. ABS stands for Anti-Lock Braking System and is designed to prevent your wheels from locking up during hard braking, which helps maintain steering control and avoid skidding. Therefore, your stopping distance can still be influenced by other factors such as road conditions, speed, and the condition of your tires and brakes. The other options of 10%, 20%, and 5% are incorrect because having ABS does not change your stopping distance by a specific percentage. Instead, it improves the effectiveness of your brakes in emergency situations. The correct answer is 0%, indicating that ABS does not affect your stopping distance.
