Question:

When turning quickly in an emergency, which of the following applies _________.

A Do not apply the brakes
explanation

To turn quickly, you must have a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands. A quick turn can be made safely if it is done correctly.
Do not apply the brakes while you are turning. It is very easy to lock your wheels while turning. If that happens, you may skid out of control.
Do not turn any more than needed to clear whatever is in your way. The more sharply you turn, the greater the chances of a skid or rollover.
Be prepared to countersteer, that is, to turn the wheel back in the other direction once you have passed whatever was in your path. Unless you are prepared to countersteer, you will not be able to do it quickly enough. Think of emergency steering and countersteering as two parts of one driving action.
