When it is time to buy a new or used vehicle it is vital that you check out the safety features the vehicle has and one of the most important safety features is the braking system.
The braking system can make the difference between life and death and the best is an antilock brake system also known as ABS. This will stop the wheels from locking up in the event you have to brake quickly and will allow you to have more control over the steering. However, you need to learn how to use the system properly to enable maximum benefits to be had.
You should check whether the ABS is on all four wheels or only on two as some trucks, vans and SUVs only have the ABS on two wheels rather than four which is standard in passenger cars.
Another good safety feature is brake assist which can detect when you are braking in an emergency and can help activate the ABS more quickly and reduce the stopping distance.
