ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS ARE ALMOST HERE

They have been long in coming because of their high cost and strict product liability laws. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in this article, and the Lucas Girling SCS (Stop Control System) anti-locking braking system for front-wheel-drive cars is described.
