It is obvious that you are an idiot without a clue about the physics
involved, or statistical analysis for that matter. There isn't much

ABS is a joke intended to makeup for the fact most drivers are not capable
of eating a whopper, dialling a cell phone, reading a map, and braking all
at the same time. Maybe it's time to realise that technology can not makeup
for ineptitude.
ABS levels are well below the "ultimate traction" (like that condition
actually exists). they make up, and then only poorly, for inadequately
trained drivers who are driving beyond their ability, or level of
concentration.
Put the burger down...
shut off the phone...
turn off that dammed music...
quit running a rolling day-care...
and pay attention to the task at hand, technology isn't going to do it for
you.

Our local newspaper did a big article on ABS brakes and they said the
same as you and I and Bill have been saying.
'When ABS first appeared they were mistakenly promoted as reducing
stopping distances. They didn't.'
Then they say with the 'new' computers, the 'new' ABS can 'generally'
out brake the best of drivers.
LOL!
I think that about sums it up....

Our local newspaper did a big article on ABS brakes and they said the
same as you and I and Bill have been saying.
'When ABS first appeared they were mistakenly promoted as reducing
stopping distances. They didn't.'
Then they say with the 'new' computers, the 'new' ABS can 'generally'
out brake the best of drivers.
LOL!
I think that about sums it up....
