[TheLogikal1]

aobispo is on the dot. a semi-decent driver that pays attention and is aware of whats in front of him can stop bette than any abs...but the there are the idiots that shave, read magazines, all that garbage that rely on abs cause they dont pay attention when they drive.

you can stop much faster with ABS, and you can't leave skidmarks when trying to avoid the guy that swerved into your lane to where they know you were speeding cuz they go 155 ft. but thats just what happened to me but yes ABS will make you stop faster, when you don't have it and your tires skid that means you've gone beyond the breaking ability(?) of the car(I'm sure theres a better way to put it, but its late and I'm dumb... bad combination)

from what i know, the ABS sense when the brakes are abotu to lock, so instead of locking, they send electric pulses or something and make the brake pads tap to the brakes. If anyone gots better info, go ahead

How about....

When your brakes lock up, you stop stomping on them hard as you can, because brakes don't work under the regular stupid mentality that the harder you step on them the faster you stop. If your brakes are locked up and you ease off a bit to just under that threshold of locking, you'll stop in a much shorter distance than letting them skid for 155 feet.


Sorry, I'm ussually very against treating people like this, but that was some pretty stupid driving.

Ever Heard Of Pumping Your Brakes? You Don't Lock-up Your Brakes Like A Moron.... You Push Them Hard Then Slightly Let Off And Pulsate Them Till You Are Are The Speed You Want To Be At.

All Abs Does Is Release Any Wheel That Is Senses Traction Loss In Which In All My Experiences With Abs Has Been Very Dangerous. I've Had A Ford Truck Release All Four Wheels Literally 3 Ft From A Car In Front Of Me. Talk About Scary Shit When You Have To Release The Brakes And Slam On Them Again To Stop. I've Also Had A S10 That Released The Brakes As I Was Entering A Turn With Stopped Traffic Ahead And It Actually Locked The Front Inside Wheel And Released Everything Else Which Caused Massive Over Steer Around That Wheel And The Truck Started Sliding.

your car will always stop better with ABS from a safety standpoint. Its just more fun if you know how to control you car to get it to skid with just the brakes.

ABS lets you get the MAXIMUM use of your brakes without locking them up, it does it in a manner that no driver could reproduce.


ABS especially shows off in slippery road conditions.

One Thing I Can Say Is That Abs Does Produce Better Results In Wet Weather.... But I Highly Disagree With The Dry Weather Statement. Also Abs Generations Make A Huge Difference, Early Gen Abs Systems Sucked.... The New Systems Are Much Better And Have Much Better Results And A Higher Safety Standard.

I think they call it "poor mans abs" (got it from GT3)

[johnnyboy5]

i was refering to the pumping of brakes thing
