Can you stop quicker with or without ABS?
|
they invented abs to stop faster. abs pumps the breaks faster than any human can in a emergency stop situation. Therefor enabling the car to not lock up the wheels and stop sooner.

hah, i just asked this like yesterday night. abs was designed to stop stupid drivers from locking and not being able to steer. for example in wet/snowy conditions when it is easy to lock them up. in my thread, turbovr6 said you stop faster without abs, but it is harder to control.

abs stopping distance is GREATER than non-abs. in otherwords, you stop faster WITHOUT abs. but the difference isnt very big.
abs = better control during hard braking. it prevents wheels from locking. |
