My Clio 172 cup crash pics

As much as a fan of ABS I am and know the Cup boys hate us for it ;)

I doubt very much ABS would have made the situation any different in this situation. Bad luck about the Cup mate.. hope you get nice new shiney one instead :D

another cup gone, boooo. but look on the bright side, less cups means they become rarer :)

.....oh and again with the abs comments :(
 
I dont see how abs should affect anybodys driving personally. The only time i have ever used abs was and has been in the snow/ice where i leave enough distance between me and the car in front to react if my car does skid.

Not having ABS on my cup wont make any difference to me or the way i drive. Everyone has mad moments in their cars, and im sure you all overtake people at some point. If the person in front of you pulls out on your like this, ABS is going to do f**k all for you, as you are still going to hit the car.

With general driving, again, i tend to leave enough space between myself and the person in front to give myself enough time to react if i need to brake sharp. If you need to hit your brakes hard enough to engage the ABS then you were either driving wrecklessly or too close in the first place, and are a danger on the roads.

Of course this is all in my opinion and im sure others will disagree.

Shame about the cup though. I f**king hate people that dont indicate. The worst ones, are those that brake miles before they are turning, then indicate at the last second, as if its an after thought. People like that are dangerous as you have no way of anticipating what they are going to do!

Jacko, last owner change was on 13th April 2005, which was hopefully when you bought it, and it has'nt got a new owner yet, so hopefully it has been destroyed rather than being rebuilt and running around as a potential death trap...

Good luck with the new one!
