Something is wrong here:

Accidentally found again on the search for the abandoned-car-thread. The pics were already listed, as we had a similat thread in our plate-forum

My dad's 1981 VW Passat LS (owned between 1986 and 1996), not enough distance to the car in front:



My NSU 1200 C (owned between 1994 and 1997), 38 km/h in a 30 km/h school zone:

Some insurance companies (that insure Travel-Trailers) offer discounts for a T-V (Tow-Vehicle) with advanced braking systems (i.e. ABS, ESP, Electronic-Brake-Force-Distribution EBFD, and Emergency Brake Assist/Brake Assist)

My vehicle has all of the above brake systems, so I was well qualified for the discount. The Travel-Trailer itself has it’s own set of brakes which are controlled by the Expedition.

I agree with Max, every full-size vehicle I have seen, including a good portion of mid-size have (at least) a basic ABS system. I would not want a daily driver without it. Studies have shown that a vehicle with a basic ABS system (not including any other advanced braking systems to complement it) have a less chance of being in an accident.

Yes, on most subcompacts, compacts, and even some mid-size cars it's optional (some subcompacts don't even have it for an option). It's usually standard on most full-size and luxury cars though.

At that time it was still a luxury item.
Now it is on all cars sold in EU, but in USA if I remember well it is still not so common? (i.e. often optional)

Well it was invented a long ago now, it could had have it

ABS? It's a 1988 Toyota, CCF

It didn't have ABS?

The white Camry. If I remember correctly, this happened before I bought my Mercury.

I admit, that I ignore one red light very often, advisedly (if no police or other potentially dangerous people are around). It's in our village, directly in front of the town house. The police is on the other side, but mainly the're noone there. Countryside, even if we are very close to the Ruhr-area.

This lights is a kind of annoyance-light. It in a 30-zone and always changes fast between red and green. If a car comes closer, it will always be red. I'm fucked up with this stupid way of traffic calming, that I mostly ignore it.
