^ As John Adams would surely say :
The setting of the risk thermostat remains the same. The expected safety improvement gets translated into a performance benefit.

People like performance benefits. Thus the accident statistics do not show the expected drop.

And so it goes on . . . .

It may have escaped your attention or not,but people can change into utter idiots when they get hold a vehicle in their inexperienced hands.
The antics I watch daily on our roads at times beggers belief to any sane responsible and reasonable person.
People simply aren't aware the impact of colliding with an immovable force can cause them until it happens.

Just realised I've been roped into what has turned into yet another anti disc brake thread

Notes to self:
1. Wet plywood is not a grippy surface.
2. Remember that wet plywood is not a grippy surface (I've fallen off here before).
3. Remember wooly hat status for subsequent post on forum (most likely too warm to have been wearing one but I cannot be certain).

Just home after a brief visit to the minor injuries unit.

1. Wet plywood remains a high-slip surface.
2. Remembered, it didn't help.
3. No wooly hat.
