ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Britain now has one of the best road safety records globally.

It costs the average Brit around £3500 a year, a whopping £2000 more than in China to maintain a vehicle. Great proportion of this is spent primarily on fuel, costing on average £2256 per year.

So it is no surprise that safety is the number one priority for most drivers when choosing a car.

Many car manufacturers have even chosen to market their products with safety as their selling point.

When experiencing a crash, the first response is usually to brake.

Anti-locking Braking Systems (ABS) exist to maintain greater control of the vehicle during such instances.

The systems exist in 2 forms; either two-wheel or four-wheel ABS.

Traction Control

Another safety feature on vehicles is traction control.

Its aim is to allow the vehicle to remain stable and reduce the risk of tyres slipping when more power is applied.

The mechanism counteracts by changing the engine output to requirement and in some cases will add braking force during acceleration.
