Message	If you have ever played with your car in the snow then you know how abs works. ABS doesnt kick in right away, but takes a second or so then unlocks the wheel. Next time is snows have a friend with ABS in a car go out on a empty piece of road, watch what happens as he stomps on the brake, youll see the wheel lock, then unlock a second later, then usually lock again, and then unlock. ABS is great, but it doesnt kick in right away, that first second you hit the brakes it wont kick in. ------------------------------------------------------- Knowledge brings fear - mars university Sarcasm is the only intelligent person's response to irritating stupidity. — Matthew White A man has to believe in something.
