Final answer:
If you can't brake to avoid a hazard, you should attempt to steer around it.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you can't brake to avoid a hazard, the best course of action is to attempt to steer around it. This means trying to maneuver your vehicle to avoid colliding with the hazard. While engaging your antilock braking system may help in certain situations, it is not the recommended response when you cannot brake. Accelerating immediately or setting the steering wheel to cruise control are both unsafe and inappropriate responses to a hazard on the road.
