ABS vs Non ABS - Episode 3

Episode 3 of the series, this time I show an example of a crash that could be avoided if car had been equipped with ABS brakes... Then again if it had, I wouln´t have learned to drive without them, some good knowledge and caution came out of this experience.

There are at least three studies which show that drivers' response to antilock brakes is to drive faster, follow closer and brake later, accounting for the failure of ABS to result in any measurable improvement in road safety. The studies were performed in Canada, Denmark and Germany. Search for "Risk Compensation"

If you know how to work brakes properly your going to stop in half the distance then stomping it and relying on abs.

@bmays002 Indeed, but ppl now-a-days believe "Its modern techonogy, so its better" and completely rely on them... They believe "no abs = crash".. if you take a look at the comments on these 4 videos I´ve made, you'll see a lot of ppl just hating.. good drivers Know ABS is not perfect, and driver should not rely on them.. doing so makes them more careless, seems like ppl stop worrying about some basic driving techniques. Thnx for commenting.

@coopercrue Really? I actually took this song from the movie "who framed roger rabbit?" hehe

ABS is useless if you know how to drive.. personally I drive a manual car with no ABS, it's 27 years old and I'd consider it safer than most modern cars... even if I were to crash I'd still walk away... gotta love Mercedes.

@TimLenhartTech I agree, your car is only as safe as you drive it. The only real active safety features are Seatbelt and Cumpling zones ant that´s on the event of a crash, all other stuff is "optional" given that they are intented to prevent a collision. A lot of ppl overestimate auto-transmision and computer controlled features and it is then that they start texting, reading, eating, etc while driving... Spect the unespected when driving and you´ll be fine. Tnx for commenting

ABS is safer, but also it makes the driver lazy..after i left my non-ABS vehicle and got an ABS equipped car, whenever i drive the old one i always loose control on ice and i realize that don't have reflexes..on the other hand, a few days ago ABS saved my car from being crashed on high pavement as it allowed me to control steering on icy road..
