Man drivign SUV says roughly that "on the newer cars, anti-lock
braking prevents the wheels from locking up so one stops slowly."

I thought on dry, non-gravel-covered roads, anti-lock braking had no
effect.

Even after he lost, he thought it was the fault of the driver in
front.


Anti-lock if for the anti-brained person. I never had trouble in winter
slippery conditions with REGULAR brakes.

I must admit, I havent' either. Even that accident I think I
mentioned, on the black ice, I *did* go straight ahead. I think all
four wheels lost traction equally so ABS wouldn't have helped anyhow.

I have a '95 now, without it. This car is lasting longer than most,
but the next car will be about a 2005 or 6 and I guess they all have
it. More expensive parts to break.
