With all due respect to Mike & Bill, I still "recall" (as opposed to merely "believing", or 'hoping', or shooting-from-the hip), reading, somewhere, that in absolute (DRY-PAVEMENT) conditions, that a skidding-tire will stop in a shorter-distance, than will a tire that is stopping-and-starting, as occurs with an anti-lock system. We are ALL not debating "control" or "wet" , or "sliding (skid-pad) conditions--- only: dry-pavement conditions. OK, you rocket-scientists, let's hear from you--AND, IF, I'm correct, then there wil be no gloating, here, for I'm only reiterating my understanding; not "producing" anything 'new'. BTW (and this IS new!!!) The new web-server (is that the 'correct' term? I'm confuser-illiterate) there WILL be ONLY THREE messages-allowed, per day--there used to be five--so :"no-more" chit-chat allowed-- make EVERY word 'count", and/or have long-messages!!!! This is my FIRST one; I'm gonna post one of my 2 rejected ones, from last night: THAT will 'make' for 2/3 of my per diem.
