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.

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.
