In heavy rain on the A37 near Borger you suddenly feel a free play in the steering. What do you do?
I hold the steering wheel still and do nothing else, until it passes by itself
I brake firmly to lose speed
I ease off the accelerator, press the clutch, do not brake, and keep steering in the direction I want to go
Explanation
Wrong — trap: reflex braking. Braking locks the wheels on a surface without grip; easing off and continuing to steer is the correct response (Book p.188).
