Light vehicle antilock brake systems
(ABS) have not reduced crashes where they were expected to be
effective. The lack of demonstrated benefit of ABS may be due to
incorrect driver use of or response to ABS, or unrealistic
expectations of ABS performance. Using this survey, NHTSA will
assess differences in drivers' experiences and expectations of the
performance of ABS versus conventional brakes. Results will be used
to assess the need for an educational campaign to inform drivers
about proper ABS use.
