For those of you who do not have even a drop of motorhead blood in your system, the abbreviation above stands for Antilock Braking System. Im sure it could mean a thousand other things, some of them vulgar but for now, it has to do with brakes.
Last night i was driving home alone after supper and was almost home when i had to apply emergency brake aka stepping on the darn brake v v hard to avoid a car in front of me who decided to stop before deciding to turn into a lane where some shops were. Besides the food almost hurling out onto the windscreen and seeing our lives flashing before our eyes (the other driver and mine) i somehow managed to turn in time and avoid a pretty nasty accident because i like to drive fast. My bad.
Anyways, the brake did its thing which means to say that the brake will function but in an emergency situation like that I was in, it doesnt lock up and allows you some leeway to steer the car. It really made a difference bcos without it, I would have surely crashed into him. When i reached home, i just couldnt believe i managed to avoid him and came out of the car and checked twice just to make sure i wasnt dreaming the whole thing up. Damn. ABS surely has my vote as one of the best inventions of mankind besides toast, condoms, 50 calibre rifles and ferrari 458's.
There is a God, trust me. Just be careful what you call him.
