    Speed doesn’t kill.

    It’s the sudden stop that kills you.

      Be careful, or politicians are gonna draft a bill preventing your from applying too much braking force too quickly. Thats about in line with the logic on this bill.

            ABS also shortens your stopping distance. At least good ABS does, originally it sucked.

      Belter slingshot racers know this all too well. NOTE: Spoiler for an episode in the Expanse which everyone should watch if they haven’t already.
