Absolutely, avoiding a potential accident is no time to try new
driving techniques. This only works if you have the time and safe
place to practice the technique over and over until you do it
correctly and automatically in an emergency situation. I'm not saying
that cars shouldn't have ABS, or that everyone should try this. ABS
certainly saves a lot of lives, and prevents a lot of accidents
between normal drivers that don't take the time to study and practice
emergency maneuvers.

settle for antilock brakes and standing HARD on the pedal. I'm not a
race car driver, I'm a 50 year old commuter, and when there is an
accident IN PROGRESS one car ahead of me I don't have time to get
fancy
in heavy traffic.
