[VAC] Re: Hydraulic brake controllers



Harvey,
 Locking the front wheels of your vehicle will certainly cause you to
loose your steering, but isn't otherwise nearly as dangerous as locking
the rear wheels or those of the trailer. Doing the latter will cause you
the rig to swap ends almost instantly, which is why a half-ABS outfit
always has the half on the rear wheels only.

If you want a real thrill, find an ice-covered parking lot, get your
vehicle rolling about 20 MPH, and jam on the parking brake.....
