The car that 'hit' me was an old one, didn't check it's tyres, but I suspect they've now got a smooth flat spot.I've done defensive driving courses too and am not convinced that threshold braking or (can't remember the 2nd type) 'lock and release' will beat ABS for stopping distance. Wasn't about to test it last night.I wasn't doing 80 in a 60 zone, maybe 40 in a 60 zone, if that. Traffic conditions didn't allow any faster. The wet road contributed to the ABS firing, I doubt it would have otherwise.Oh yeah, I did have a prang last year. The entire LHS panels, bonnet, front and rear bumpers were replaced. Still haven't got my damned excess back.Simon....
