Re: BIG 4 SUED FOR ABS STOPPING DISTANCES!
Swerve ... what's that ... I'm saying (4 channel) ABS is very very useful in
maintaining full control of the vehicle on rainy/snowy roads to avoiding an
in your face collision ... and around here it is just not very smart to stop
on the highway ... there are too many persons behind the wheel that have
absolutely no idea what to do if anything abnormal appears in front of them.
I watched a woman rear end a stopped truck ... I could see her face ... she
was in the lane beside me ... she saw the stopped truck ... but drove right
into the back of it without even slowing ???. I digress ... but if pressed,
and I saw no way out, I would hit the deer as best I could, then pull over
.... way over ... just as I would head for the ditch vs slide in sideways.

hit another vehicle head on", Said Lt. John Eichkorn of the Kansas Highway

Because a Captain would have suggested making enough noise
to chase the deer into the other guy's lane?
