Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo There s a common misconception in car world that "threshold braking" is the be-all and end-all of performance braking, and that systems like ABS cause you to have longer stopping distances. Such is the hubris of a car enthusiast, who believes they are Lewis Hamilton (or Nicholas Latifi, whoever you prefer), nay they are better, and thus they don t need such aids like Anti-Lock Braking Systems slowing them down. True, if you car doesn t have ABS, you better learn to perfect your threshold braking technique, because it s all you have. But if you drive a modern car with ABS, it s going to outperform your braking time and time again. Don t believe me? Watch!
