#1 of 1 ABS "Unsafe" by wwest Dec 07, 2008 (9:40 am)
FACT #1: ABS was adopted SOLELY to allow the driver to maintain directional control. FACT #2: Undue/inadvertent ABS activation sometimes results in elongating, extending, the vehicle stopping distance. FACT #3: ABS activating unduly/inadvertently potentially puts passenger lives at risk. So for vehicles equipped with VSC why not disable ABS unless VSC indicates that directional control is needed or required. Anyone see any detrimental effects...??
