Re: Thoughts on ABS? 200 92

posted by  someone claiming to be chris herbst on  Thu Nov 30 06:53 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The airbag sounds bad to some people. I know a guy who hit a bear at 70mph with his car. The seatbelt malfunctioned and didn't lock, but the airbag kept him from extremely serious injury, as the car was totally demolished.

Lots of people hate airbags in less serious collisions, but are very happy to have them in big wrecks where the chance of injury is much greater. Ditto ABS, which can be a headache but is a nice feature. I was recently driving through the Porcupine mountains during a snowstorm, on some little, curvy, icy, unplowed roads, and ABS was really nice. More than I've ever realized.
