didnt want to steal another post on abs/traction control so here we go. as most folks here know i am an auto body shop owner. we do a volunteer presentation several times a year for the local high school drivers ed program. we cover the vehicle end of the program and familiarize students with basic automotive maintenance and repairs, also cover air bag systems, passive and active restraint systems, traction control and anti lock brake systems. the most common misconception is that anti lock brakes make you stop faster in any road condition. this is false. the primary purpose of anti lock brakes is to avoid wheel locking so as to remain in control of the steering of the vehicle. it does not make you stop faster. also, traction control and stability control (yaw sensors) do not magically make your vehicle get super traction on snow, ice, wet pavement, gravel roads ect. it reduces engine power to curb wheel spin, and uses braking to keep the vehicle going in the direction you want to go. thats it ...no magic. the down side is the systems are extremely complicated and expensive to repair.
