Because you can't, not because you are afraid I won
The dangers of DRLs 4646C.H. I've had this discussion with so many people and so many times, and the factsw are out there, if you actually cared about the subject you'd have educated...
You just called me dumbbutt for not sharing your opinion in another posting, that is rude, which is why me calling you rude is not an accusation but the truth.
Quite frankly, if you don't understand the
OK, as you are incapable of explaining why supposedly your view is true I will explain to you why it is wrong:
As long as there is equal friction on all four wheels and you are braking in a straight line you can brake close to the traction limit of your tires, possibly closer than ABS can.
As soon as the traction becomes unequal between tires you have to reduce your brake force so far that the tire with the weakest friction does not break loose, especially if you are not braking in a straight line. ABS on the other hand does not have this restriction and brakes every wheel to its traction limit, which produces significantly shorter stopping distances, especially when you have to brake in a curve, where the lateral forces on your wheels are unequal to begin with.
IOW under ideal conditions you may be able to outbrake ABS, in real world conditions you are not.
