→Less Effective ABS
| Line 10: | Line 10: | ||
The fact that the Vincent's "ABS" must lock up then roll, then lock up, then roll, etc. is less effective. The whole point of ABS is to prevent the wheels from locking up in the first place; when they do lock up they began to slide on the pavement, which increases stopping distance. You can see tire marks from short bits of sliding from the Vincent and I've noticed towards the end of taking the vehicle to a complete stop, the "ABS" keeps the wheels locked; further proving it is less effective. --[[User:Energy Monkey|Energy Monkey]] 23:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | The fact that the Vincent's "ABS" must lock up then roll, then lock up, then roll, etc. is less effective.

:Yeah, I think I misread your edit.. I wasn't exactly with it last night, my apologies. You are correct, the Vincent has "ALT_ABS" enabled in it's equipment list, and to be frank it is pretty shitty.
