Even if the ABS can function in 0.2 seconds, can the driver's reaction be that fast? I had an accident that resulted in the car flipping off the highway to the adjacent bush. We got off unscathed due to the fastened seatbelt. Defensive driving? Anyone that can drive here can virtually be on the road as long as you have a driver's licence, a licence you can get without getting behind the wheel once in your life!

I was referring to that. The driver's response is way too slow for the speeds that we are travelling.
We either remove the driver from the ecuation or learn to cheat and give us more time, like keeping greater distance to the car in front and identifying potetial dangerous situations.
Driving while making some braking distance between our vehicle and the next really helps us stop and prevent a possible pileup.

@alexdory, that was an interesting piece.
