Although most cars in the United States and Canada are now equipped with anti-antilock braking (ABS), most people don't really understand how these systems work.

The whole idea behind this type of braking system should help to slides for the brake at the same time a driver still the ability to control to avoid their vehicle in an emergency situation.

Unfortunately can people who have this technology at their fingertips can car accidents due to worse driving in Atlanta and habits are included. The Insurance Institute for highway safety are estimates of such vehicles with anti-lock braking system 65% probability at fatal crash as cars without this braking system. This is mainly due to lack of training on the use of ABS.

Some common mistakes made, if an ABS drive car equipped:

People try and pump the brakes in an emergency. The only thing to do pumps brakes prevent that the wheels lock up attempting to suddenly stop. ABS brakes are never lock up, so that all pumps the brakes will do is take longer to stop. The ABS system will do the job, if you apply the brake only and press you firmly down without letting up on the brake pedal. The brakes are pulse and even chatter, but that's okay. People are assuming that ABS brakes helps them to stop faster. This is not their function. Their main function is to retain a driver control of her steering and brakes. Atlanta drivers accept that they can drive more aggressively, just because they ABS. This is not true and drivers should be not cocky.

It is usually easy to determine if a vehicle with an ABS braking system is equipped. Is it is in the user guide of your vehicle, and it is also a yellow status indicator on the dashboard if you the ignition.

TRUCKS, vans and some SUVs have only rear wheel ABS systems. This can lock up the front wheels of this type of vehicle, and can also result in loss of control. Cars are equipped with four wheel ABS systems, so that none of the wheels locked is.

ABS systems can driver surprised, because when the brakes are applied they can make a singing sound. The brakes can also feel, as they are vibrating, and then the brake can store. This is very counter intuitive to drivers often your foot from the pedal will take when these things happen. This only means that the system works and driver should continue just pressed firmly their foot pressure.

It is important to understand how your ABS brake system works, because it could help you to avoid a car accident on Atlanta road surfaces if control your vehicle you can manage the emergency. The system is usually about speed of 10 mph and works better to activate on wet and slippery surfaces.
