Just before you come to a complete stop when braking, you should...?

  1. press the brakes harder

  2. release the brakes then reapply

  3. turn off the engine

  4. shift into neutral

The correct answer is: release the brakes then reapply

When braking, it is important to gradually decrease the pressure on the brakes as you come to a complete stop. Pressing the brakes harder (option A) can cause your vehicle to stop abruptly, potentially resulting in skidding or loss of control. Turning off the engine (option C) can also cause you to lose control of the vehicle and shifting into neutral (option D) can reduce your ability to brake effectively if you need to quickly stop. Releasing the brakes and then reapplying them (option B) allows for a smoother and safer stop.
