We are getting a lot of rain this season so I thought I would clear up a question we often get here at 3A.
Although it only became a mandatory option in the USA in 2013, most vehicles manufactured over the past two decades have some sort of anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels of your vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface when the brakes are applied. The ABS keeps the car from going into an uncontrolled skid because the tires are locked up. (Ever notice you don’t hear many of those long, terror-inducing skids at a stop light anymore?…That’s because most cars have ABS)
