I do my best at watching as far down the road as possible, looking between lanes and through the windshields of vehicles ahead. It tends to keep me out of trouble.
So, I'm headed down a 4 lane this morning about 55 mph. Rush hour traffic. People ahead of me panic stop as traffic ahead of them has stopped and they have not slowed down.
I pressed the brake pedal to the limit of pedal travel. Felt like I bottomed out on the firewall.
I stopped in time.
The brake pedal feel was interesting - I initially thought it was a bit mushy, but I had enough stopping power. Never felt the ABS pulse, but the wheels did not lock up as I stopped. The ABS on my '02 will pulse in a similar situation.
Anyone had an experience? Did your ABS engage?
