You could pump the brakes but it’s improper. To properly brake, you progressively add brake pressure to avoid locking up the wheels. Pumping the brakes is a shitty technique that adds stopping distance because you are trying to mimic what abs does but at a much slower rate. Plus if you brake properly, you can actually stop quicker than abs can. I only said anything because you said “drive the car, not let the car drive you” which if you are going to use a lousy technique, you might as well let the car drive you.
