IMHO, one thing that's going on is when somebody drives a car with ABS, they think it's some kind of magic which repeals physics. They get a false sense of security & drive faster & closer because "the car's got ABS, so I can always stop".
ABS can't work magic. If you think about it, all it can do is RELEASE the brake calipers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against ABS, just some people are dumb enough to think it'll do miracles. Lack of education can be a big minus for ABS. Joe Average THINKS that ABS can make the car stop instantly, even on ice.
