My college roomate rolled me over in his car because he was trying to
negotiate a curve with the wheels locked up. ABS would have saved him.
(If I were driving I would have saved us). The accident involved the
high speed of twenty-five(25) MPH and a snow covered curve in NY state.

I think the research data was incorrectly reduced. So here is my
theory. Safty gadgets do not make people worse drivers, they protect
the bad drivers so that they may drive again. That is what we get for
messing with Darwins theories.
