I would be interested to see what the estimate was based on.
Keep in mind the percentage of cars on the road that are equipped with ABS. It automatically makes them more likely to be in an accident. |

It’s felt that ABS makes drivers more aggressive, because they believe their car will get them out of trouble with ABS brakes. Unfortunately even without bad road conditions this aggressive behavior leads to more accidents even in good conditions, Ironically.

Doesn't look like it eTiMaGo.
ABS is required on all new passenger cars sold in the EU since 2004. In the United States, the NHTSA has mandated ABS in conjunction with Electronic Stability Control under the provisions of FMVSS 126 as of September 1, 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system |
