If you have lost ABS control at one or more wheels, what should you do?

When ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) control is lost at one or more wheels, it is important to maintain control of the vehicle. Driving normally while planning to service the system soon is the best course of action in this scenario. The ABS is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during braking, which helps maintain steering control. If the ABS is not functioning, the driver still retains the ability to brake, although it may require more caution and skill.

Maintaining a normal driving approach allows the driver to navigate the bus safely until they can address the issue. Sudden stops or drastic reductions in speed could potentially cause a loss of control, especially in a large vehicle like a school bus. Stability and control are essential to ensure the safety of both the driver and the passengers. Once it is safe to do so, the driver should plan to have the ABS system inspected and repaired to restore its functionality.
