Oh it will make sound?

All I can remember was the brake pedal felt something like a badly bengkoked disc brake. The pedal rejecting/vibrating like mad but didn't hear any other sound

Now when you meantion VIOS the ABS, there was once I was sending a dugong back to the shop in Serdang Raya. You know la those used car outside private road is gravel. I was happily riding the dugong and suddenly 1 apek turned out from 1 of the used car. I panic so I ma jam the brake lo since my speed is about 40 or 60kph nia. Guess what.... no ABS kick in. The car gradually slide towards my right. During that time I know masok longkang is unavoidable so I bent my arms slightly to allow dampening during impact. I shut my eyes tight ready for airbag hit my glasses...
When I open my eyes.... the car was totally stopped, but at JALAN UTAMA

The dugong hopped over the drain and landed on the mainroad

That day customer didn't make it take that car due to personal reason, instead the sales man who witness my near miss accident bought the car himself the very same day after customer declined to sign the paper

He was saying, saw how a good car was built to avoid such traumatic incident, he's certain the 08 VIOS is 1 of the best car in the world
I didn't know there's a safety feature call over jump a drain

If the Dugong can jump as hai as this, surely a small longkang is not a plobrem

i agreed with this. should applied to all drivers. i myself applied this long time ago. i myself always considered me as not a professionally experienced driving car.
there's more, such as :
[*] when overshoot road exits, do not attempt to go suddenly go exit, if overshoot just drive until find the next u-turn...
One of the most dangerous things I've seen are cars missing exits on the haiway then they reverse backwards down the emergency lane

so meaning that when driving, one should know the car that you are driving is with abs or non abs right. well, from my experience, one should be well prepared before driving such as the destination, car condition, road factor, weather factor etc. for YAB's case, that one is not expected.
one also should also not too dependant on car lights (brake lights, signal) in front of you. yalor we can say drivers drive sohigh one, blame on others. from my understanding, we also have to learn to expect the movement of the vehicles around you. don't just see the vehicle in front, but see also the traffic infront of the vehicles infront of you. some like that la.
Of course. If you're driving an unfamiliar car, you should not have to brake to trigger ABS in the first place. Or if you're driving your own car for that matter. But unexpected things happen.
There are two golden rules for safe driving.
1. Assume each and every other driver is an idiot who may do stupid things and crash into you.
2. Drive as if you have no safety features. No ABS, no airbags. As if you aren't wearing your seatbelt. As if your chassis is made of paper. As if there's a sharp spike at the steering wheel pointed at your face. Safety features are good, but it makes drivers overconfident to take unreasonable risks.
