In my experience, which includes using and instructing how to brake in none-ABS cars, I find that any sort of "complicated" method for braking (like pumping) cannot be carried out in real emergencies efficiently, so the advice is to stand on the pedal. Normally, the car will stay straight.
Here we see one side of the car on water, the other on ice! It's an enormous difference in grip. I have stopped cars without ABS with two wheels on tarmac and two on gravel and it stays straight.
@GratiusG U never know what is going to happen on the road, especially when the spin happen, u have no idea where the car is going to hit. Without ABS slaming the pedal while driving a track in a mountain, people will have to find u in the ravine, u know!?
In the first demonstration, the none-ABS car "steps out" slightly, but it keep going in the same direction, and stops quite quickly.
In the second demonstration, two wheels are on ice, and two on tarmac, making the car spin. Even so, the spinning car also remains in it's original direction and stops quickly.
If you don't have ABS -- if does not matter- slam that pedal.
I had abs too (i have it currently disabled) it didn´t increase the life of my tyres... actually it made the tyres wear irregularly, my tyres became sort of "squared" because a bit was wornout more than the next, and so on...
Personally I prefer not having abs... I made a couple videos about it, and I´ll keep uploading some more later, if anyone interested check them out, "abs vs non-abs"
@quadling Thanks mate,
Cheers!
