Government to make ABS mandatory on motorcycles and scooters in India

1: Maybe you need some reading material instead of jumping to conclusions without reading an entire post…

Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

2: Most of Indian road surfaces can be considered gravelly. The problem is that ABS prevents wheel lock, nothing more and nothing less. On smooth surfaces this is desirable, but at lower speeds on roads with layers of dust and rock on them, ABS actually slows braking. It does however, allow you to retain steering control while braking.

3: Also, ABS activation is very rare. That is exactly the point. When it does activate, it takes most newbie drivers by surprise. At least four accidents on the Mumbai-Pune expressway in 2013 were caused by drivers who had to undertake panic braking and released the brake the moment it pumped back. That led to complete loss of control, when in fact you are supposed to stay hard on the brake.

4: If you have ever trail-braked or used cadence braking you will know what this means. Just having fancy sporty names and avatars do not a good driver make, and neither do they impart any knowledge on exactly how to drive.

5: Your language and bearing reveal exactly what kind of driver you might be.

1: Maybe if you had said that initially in our post, it would have made more sense. Anyways it still doesnt.

2: I do not at all agree that our roads are gravelly. Unless you live in a village in some backward state of the country.

3: Your source of facts is? And if it is true(unlikely) then the fact is that it is driver fault. And because it caused 4 accidents, how many did it avoid?

4: Oh. Watch out. We are dealing with a walking encyclopedia here.
“Cadence braking is supposed to maximise the time for the driver to steer around the obstacle ahead, as it allows him to steer while slowing. It needs to be learned and practiced. For most drivers of modern cars, it has been entirely superseded by ABS” So your so called skill utterly useless. kthnxbai

5: Starting off my post with “I’m sorry to say this” and you still deem it appropriate to judge me.
And I’m the most sedate driver you’ll ever meet. So please keep take your stereotypes and shove them into a dustbin.(Because they are no better than garbage.)(Remember swatch bharat abhiyaan? )
