What car should I buy?

[Undertoad]

You are quoting a study from 1994. The NTHSA calls that study "preliminary".

I am quoting a study from 2009. It is called "The Long-Term Effect of ABS in Passenger Cars and LTVs".

THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF ABS IS DETERMINED BY THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ... WHICH SHOW THAT IT REDUCES ACCIDENTS BY 6-8%

please update your brain with this new information

The quote said

Many believed anti-lock brakes make stopping on ice safer. Almost no one asked how or why.

Where is your number that says ABS will save your ass on ice? Your numbers are found in NHTSA reports and other reports. And then those reports add your numbers to other numbers. Bottom line remains.

The net benefit is close to zero,

Return to what so many believe because GM promoted the myth. Where are numbers that show better stopping and increased safety on ice? Where are your numbers that address that sentence? And where are your numbers that prove ABS has not encouraged more reckless driving as the NHTSA and others suspect?

The point is about why so many know only from their feelings and soundbytes. And therefore even drive recklessly rather than learn what ABS really does.
