Nafe,you ask "how did we survive and stay alive" when these systems were'nt around.
Go back and check the Road Toll figures from those eras-it's massively higher than current ones.....
And kster,how's your brake modulating when someone runs a red light in the wet in front of you?
I can tell you-we used to do an exercise that replicated this-both feet on the brakes and everything locked up...and that's when they knew something was imminent.
We used to remove the ABS fuse and let people of your mindset try and beat the ABS in the wet-don't remember it being done too often.
Biggest problem in Driver Training is Attitude.
We did countless tests[ie car suddenly appearing in front of you] with ABS on/off,VSC on/off in emergency situations and it was 100% better with them on.
We're not talking about "spirited driving" here but real world emergency stuff that occurs daily.
Confidence to leave them on is better than overconfidence turning them off....
Would you drive with your seatbelt off because you're a good driver and won't have an accident?
How much Driver Training and Testing have you guys done?
And no,Maccas car park doesn't count.
Cheers
