Safety Benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes
Think about how you instinctively respond when you're driving a car and a child or animal runs into the road in front of you: you're going to slam on the brakes to stop the car as fast as possible. Depending how fast you are traveling, slamming the brakes on quickly and hard like that can result in the brakes locking up and throwing the car into an uncontrollable slide.
When you drive a Ford with anti-lock brakes, the car will automatically pump the brakes like you're supposed to when stopping to prevent the brakes from locking up and putting the car into a slide. Both types of brakes will stop the car quickly, but anti-lock brakes will prevent the potential for an accident that is caused by an uncontrolled vehicle in a slide due to locked brakes.
Anti-lock brakes are available on most makes and models of Ford cars, and should be a consideration when choosing your next car to buy. Come on in to our Maryland Ford dealership and we'll help you pick out a car with anti-lock brakes and any other safety features you desire.
