During the briefing before the actual practical, the instructor noted that this lesson is now called "Targeted stopping" in lieu of the usual "Emergency brake on wet surface". He said that over the last few weeks, ambulances have been coming to the school to pick students up because of accidents and most of them happened during this stage.
The powers that be felt perhaps students thought that since its called "emergency brake", just slam hard on the brakes and hope for the best. Disaster for 2 wheelers. Slamming on brakes will cause accidents most of the time.
He also warned us that this is the stage where demerits are easily incurred. Speed and timing are very crucial here. Only practise, will then perfect be made.
