In Italian vehicle safety and emergency procedures (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the function of the Electronic Stability Control (ESP / ESC) system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Brakes individual wheels to stop skid

  1. Step 1: ESP senses yaw angle versus steering angle; if the car slides (understeer/oversteer), it brakes individual wheels to pull the vehicle back onto course. Answer: Brakes individual wheels to stop skid. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to vehicle safety standards and emergency regulations under the Codice della Strada.
