There's an interesting article in newspaper a couple months back. Topic highglight national car makers shall included abs, standardized for all models.
Do remember, even the cheapest VIOS J does equip with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) & Brake Assist (BA).
I am just speaking the truth. Ever wonder Gen2 1.3 standard is fitted with 4 disc brake? However PerSona B and MLine with drum brake, the master brake pump is smaller too compare to compare to Gen2. That's not funny nor joking..
Human is not pefect, human nature tell me that we made mistake..same thing, driving error.
Proton has tried its best to make affordable to all (by offering the different variants). Yes, agree, but the basic feature should not taken Out just to save little bit of money...
I will never ever forget the night when i was ALMOST involved in a high speed crash along a straight wet road during heavy rain middle of the night. It happened to me few years ago when i drove my Civic with no technological stuffs like ABS. Misjudged the upcoming traffic slowing down while driving at 100kmh. Hit the brakes to slow down..... damn getting to near... hit it harder and it immediately skidded straight on fast approaching another newer generation civic. At the time the speed was estimated to be about 90kmh. My ABS equipped right leg (

) pumping away to gather further front grip..It managed to slow down more but still not enough. It happened soo fast that in that split second in order to possibly crash out...., my corner of my eyes looked left at the side mirror to spot if there is any headlamp resembling a car at my side. Let go brakes, swerve left, brake again....missing the front car rear bumper by mere inches....phewwwwww!!!!! Lucky my rear didnt "buang" as a result if got sure masuk monsoon drain at the left portion of the road.
That was the most intense moment of my life. Reliving past a possible fatal accident. True story.
