To make a smooth stop in a vehicle, you should do what 1-2 seconds before the car stops?

  1. Increase braking pressure

  2. Maintain braking pressure

  3. Release some braking pressure

  4. Pump the brakes

The correct answer is: Release some braking pressure

When making a smooth stop in a vehicle, it is important to release some braking pressure 1-2 seconds before the car stops. It is not recommended to increase braking pressure or maintain it as this can result in a sudden and jerky stop, leading to discomfort for the passengers and increased wear and tear on the vehicle. Pumping the brakes should also be avoided as it can cause the car to lose traction and skid. Releasing some braking pressure gradually allows the car to come to a gradual and gentle stop, ensuring a smoother and safer experience for everyone in the vehicle.
