All-
This questions may be too generic to answer definitively
however that just shows how badly I need opinions.
If I have a car with ABS that cannot be disabled is it
reasonable for me to assume that the car will stop in
the shortest distance possible if I simply slam on the
brakes (thereby engaging ABS)?
If this is not so then what sort of penalties are likely
in this scenario? In other words does a good ABS system
get within 10-20% of ideal non-assisted braking? How
about in the wet (where yesterday I had abysmal braking
most likely due to driver errors)?
Also if engaging the ABS is evil what techniques can be
used to avoid the dreaded HAL9000 intervention?
Thanks for your thoughts
Matthew
