Final answer:

If a vehicle has anti-lock brakes, you should never pump the brakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a vehicle has anti-lock brakes, you should never pump the brakes.

When you press and hold the brake pedal firmly with anti-lock brakes, the system automatically modulates the brake pressure to prevent the wheels from locking up. Pumping the brakes like you would with non-anti-lock brakes disrupts the system's function and can increase stopping distance.

It is important to keep in mind that when driving a vehicle with anti-lock brakes, you should apply consistent pressure to the brake pedal and let the system do its job.
