[QUOTE="santoshlv426, post: 829080, member: 1941"] I like cars, never been in this situation, and will probably tank if I were, but here's my 2c worth and what I'll try to practise. Firstly, all drive cars with ABS and EBD. ABS is not there to "prevent locking of the brakes" but there to "allow you to steer while braking to steer around the obstruction" the reason why many still crash and burn - even with ABS and EBD, is that the "juddering" of the ABS make's them back off the brake, which is wrong. The idea is to slam on the brakes - hard - and use the ABS feaure to steer around what you're gonna hit. In fact that's the primary reason for the technology, to allbe able to steer which was not the case with cars with no ABS. The car pretty much followed the line that it was engaged in (according to Laws of Motion). Second, practise (if you can get to a track), how to use the steering to overcome oversteer and understeer and the engine power in tandem, and the effects vary whether your car is FWD or RWD. This is assuming you're on driving a R2M Audi Quattro or Porsche 911 (4WD) The final bit of advice is that cars have become commodities, hellishly safe so if you can't get it right, just ride out the crash, the insurance will write off the car irrespective and get a new one !
