On an evening drive towards Oss, with the radio on low and the wipers having just stopped after a rain shower, you see the YELLOW ABS light on. What is the correct course of action?
- Stop immediately in a safe place and switch off the engine, just like with red
- ✓ Keep driving calmly and have it checked soon, not driving longer than necessary
- Keep ignoring the light, even for months, as long as it stays yellow
Correct answer: Keep driving calmly and have it checked soon, not driving longer than necessary
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- Only red requires stopping immediately (Book p.214); yellow allows continued driving, as long as not longer than strictly necessary
- Do not keep driving longer than strictly necessary.
