How should Controlled Braking be performed in a vehicle?

Apply the brakes halfway to prevent skidding
Gradually press the brakes to a full stop
Apply the brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels
Pump the brakes quickly to slow down

The correct answer is: Apply the brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels

Controlled braking should be performed by applying the brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels. This technique allows the vehicle to come to a stop quickly and effectively while maintaining control over the steering. Applying the brakes halfway or pumping the brakes quickly can lead to skidding and loss of control, while gradually pressing the brakes to a full stop may not allow for a timely and safe stop in emergency situations.
