That idea didn't seem to work before seat belts were invented, when occupants used to die by being ejected through the windscreen. Indeed it still happens. On the other hand, they drive less carefully when protected by airbags, abs and seatbelts. Guy Not all of them do, ta :-) I don't rely on ABS to stop me quicker - I use it to even out the fact that the car in front probably has it and will stop quicker than I can if I don't have it... so my driving hasn't snipped Bit of a myth that ABS enables a vehicle to stop quicker, in fact it can have the opposite effect. It's purpose is to enable the vehicle to be steered while braking hard, which without ABS often results in a skid and loss of control. |
