ABS vs. Non-ABS Braking

I thought you guys might enjoy this. I did. The last bit is just BMW advertising. R

The only problem with the video is that it does not include a "dry pavement" test. It would be nice if they included a mark off in feet as well. I would also include that anyone braking in the rain with that same "technique" might follow with the same results. I think that they could have shown a little better example of rain braking, even if the stopping distance is double.

I agree, Clem. Notwithstanding the obviously demonstrated advantages of ABS, a more "true to life" situation would have been interesting. They may have had a very specific objective in mind.


Still, I feel a little better knowing what the ABS is capable of.
