ABS can save your life, by taking emergency turns while applying emergency brakes but abt a non ABS car? Zoom straight headon.
Which one you will drive? Car with good tyres or car with bald tyres?
As you said "these features gives a sense of security to the driver and in our country"
These features also avoid accidents and its not just human. Take the best car in this world ram it into a wall. Features wont do anything.
One should know the limitations of the car and limitation of such features and proper use of such features. |
Sorry for being offtopic, but this is what we were involved in.
We already had a nasty crash in our Baleno. The accent's tail lamp were not working and the car was ahead of us. That car was carrying some Swaminarayan supremo. My dad was driving a car wearing a seatbelt. My maternal uncle ( mother's brother ) was not wearing one. When the Baleno went into the Accent the speed was around 40kmph. My uncle's head went straight into windsheild and gifted him 8 stiches on head. There was one spot of crack on the entire front windsheild.
Because it was their tail light not working + contacts, there were not many arguments and no money give or take.
The photographs ( taken by a journalist at the site of accident ) are in my backup dvd. Will post them later sometime.
So we already knew how important is ABS.
Read carefully here, I am talking about TCS ( Traction Control System ) and ESP ( Electronic Stability Programme ) being relatively not of much use in India. ABS is a must, but also mind that ABS actually increases braking distance in wet and sandy road and also on dirt road ( and we have these kind of road everywhere in India ). However this does not mean that ABS is not important, well, it is one feature that should be made compulsory in all the cars is india and also on two wheelers ( we have that technology also ).
