Barney Oldneld. in a current article,
replies:
''Four.wheel brakes are not alone
safe. but after you drive a car
equipped with them you will under
stand what real braklng ability is
like. Four-wheel brakes must come
on all cars. light or heavy. One of
the big advantages of four-whcei
brakes Is that adjustment is not
needed for long periods. I have
driven a four-wheel brake chr for
