What should you do if you need to stop suddenly?

  1. Tap your brakes

  2. Push in the clutch

  3. Increase your speed

  4. Check your mirrors and brake

The correct answer is: Check your mirrors and brake

In the event of needing to stop suddenly, the best course of action is to check your mirrors and apply the brake firmly. Option A, tapping the brakes, may not provide enough stopping power and can be dangerous if done too suddenly. Option B, pushing in the clutch, is only applicable if you are driving a manual vehicle. Option C, increasing your speed, is dangerous and counterproductive in terms of stopping. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate and safest action to take in this situation.
