+1 to above statement. Once due to some morons jumping a signal i had to brake hard to avoid hitting them , my wheels locked and skidded.
So without ABS is always a risk.

So what happens incase of a vehicle equipped with ABS and EBD ?
What about Brake Assist ?
And Mechanic brake Assist and Hydraulic brake assist ?
Traction control is to prevent the vehicle from skidding/overturning at high speeds while taking turns, i guess.
And ESP ?
ABS,EBD,TC,MBA,HBA,ESP. Are all a part of the package in Skoda Laura L&K.
I always had one doubt in my mind when it came to Airbags !! Are they really safe/ Do they really help ?
In the user manual of my car, it is written that an whichever airbag will inflate, the person concerned will possibly not be able to see it.... He will just be able to see the deflated airbag and fine powder and dust. (the whole thing is a matter of a fraction of seconds).
Is this the same in all cars (Including Mercs,Bimmers,Audis,VWs,Skodas etc.) ??
Recently a family friend of ours met with a serious accident (due to god's grace, he survived)... His father was saying that the impact was so high that the airbag got deflated !! Now, Is it that the man / his son were not aware of airbags getting deflated immediately after they get inflated or does it vary from car to car ????
The car concerned here was a Skoda Fabia.
