I wrecked my wife's car last night. I was driving at what was normally a safe distance, but ... ... were the brakes bad, or is it my perception/problem.
Normally when I start the car, the brake pedal depresses way down but to a normal distance on the second stroke. So I always give it two depressions before starting out.
But after driving for a while (in this case about 20 mins.) the situation goes back to what it was when the car was first started.
Unfortuantely I was too close to the car in front to avoid hitting it. The car slowed enough that the front end went under his bumper (high bumper of a 70s Pontiac). Creamed the hood, radiator, etc. Speed only 15 to 20 MPH!
Anyway, about the brakes. Is that normal with ABS? This is our first car with ABS.
TIA,
Collin
