A story I heard:
A guys wife buys a new car. She has it for a few days before her husband gets a chance to ride in it. She is coming to busy intersection at speed with cars already stopped at a red light. Gets to within a couple hundred feet of rear ending the stopped car at 45mph (with her husband screaming) and slams on the brakes, anti-locks are howling. She stops short of hitting the other car, barely. He asked "what the hell are you doing?"
she replies, " the salesman said I have anti-lock brakes and this is how they work"
Evidently she had been driving like that for days.
