Speeding camera fines.

[ASB]

My favourite example is people who vear onto a grass verge, one pair of wheels on the tarmac, one pair on the grass, slding along wondering why they're not slowing down as quick as they'd like.

Your last word raises a very good point. They may like to slow down quicker, but they are probably slowing down as quickly as they can. A very different thing.

Unless you have a "real" ABS and not the sort that is generally fitted to road cars, you won't.

Now we've got back to where we started. I agress ABS isn't necessarily a panacea. But for most of the people most of the time it will give them their best chance of being able to take avoiding action.

Of course for me I'd have been alert enough and with adequeate seperation so that the situation could not have arisen anyway.

In normal road cars I can outbrake the ABS in all conditions.

In my not so normal cars we're about equal. Sometimes it's better, sometimes I'm better.

I often suggest to people who regularly have the ABS 'come on' that they'd do the world and themselves a great favour by staying off the roads.
