But the bad news is that one in 25 drivers will still file an auto accident claim this year. Many accidents occur because of driver distraction. If traveling with someone else, ask them to make any radio or climate control adjustments. Don't drive when tired. On long trips, take a break at least every two hours.
ABS essentially does the pumping for the driver.
This helps one to stop the vehicle sooner and straighter. Just apply firm, steady pressure to the brake pedal. The ABS system will pump the brakes to reduce the risk that the vehicle will skid out of control, and will increase the ability to steer as the vehicle's speed decreases. As a person gets older, night vision, peripheral vision and reaction time are not as good as they were when a person started driving. Don't drive at night if uncomfortable.
