Final answer:

When making an emergency stop on a slippery road with a car that does not have ABS, release the accelerator pedal, firmly apply the brake without slamming it, and maintain control of the steering wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

When making an emergency stop on a slippery road with a car that does not have Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), there are a few steps you can follow:

  1. First, quickly but gradually release the accelerator pedal to interrupt the power to the wheels.
  2. Then, smoothly and firmly apply steady pressure to the brake pedal without slamming or pumping it.
  3. As you come to a stop, maintain control of the steering wheel and try to steer straight without making any sudden turns.

By following these steps, you can minimize the chances of skidding or losing control of the car.
