Everything we know about traffic-calming is wrong

wrote in message : With abs, if one wheel is about to lock, the other three wheels can remain braking. To avoid one wheel locking up with non-abs brakes, all four wheels have to stop braking. Indeed. But that's only relevant in specific conditions. I've already said it: ABS does not increase the braking performance of the car. It does compensate in some degree for poor technique, but even then you can fool it. Relying on ABS to "help you stop quicker" is stupid, and allowing people to think that's what it does is Not Smart. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
