Re: Anti-lock brakes VS. Airbags

What is the difference you have been seeing?

ABS is really no different than non-ABS until the wheels lock up in a skid. Then the computer takes over and "pumps" the brakes (a thousand times faster than the human foot can).

Some people do not like ABS so I can see that as an option to be chosen, as opposed to passive restraint systems that are invisible to the driver until needed.
