This Problem Across All Years
TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE TWO CARS GOT INTO A FENDER BENDER ANOTHER CRASHED INTO THEM AND I WAS TRAVELING BEHIND THE THIRD VEHICLE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SENT INTO A SKID. MY CAR SLID A GOOD DISTANCE UNTIL IT CRASHED RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE THIRD VEHICLE WHICH WAS A VOLVO IN WHICH THEIR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY SEBRING DID NOT STOP NOR DID THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 30-40 MPH WHEN THE IMPACT HAPPEN. WILL NOT HAVE CONFIRMATION UNTIL TOMORROW BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR WILL NOT BE SALVAGEABLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SHOULD PREVENT A SKID ON A DRY SURFACE ON A CLEAR DAY. *TR
