2. Maximum straight-line braking is done by:

Using the front brake, then the rear brake.

Using the rear brake, then the front brake.

Using the front and rear brakes at the same time without locking either wheel.

Whether or not other drivers will see you.

How many cars are on the road ahead.

Which portion of the lane will result in a shorter trip.

If you can pass more vehicles in a certain position than in another.
