Question:
I am buying a used car, one model is a $1,000 dollar diffrence and the cheaper model doesnt have abs or traction control. I want to save the 1,000 dollars and buy the cheaper model but is the safety from ABS and traction control worth a 1,000 dollars?

How can you put a dollar amount on the safety of your life. Spend the extra 1000 and get the safety features unless you do not care about yourself and getting hurt

What happens when the speed camera on the opposite side flashes on you?

Traction control is useless, it just slows the engine down automatically if the wheels spin in snow, I prefer to let the wheels spin, especially if it's thrusting me out of a snow bank, and I have the car moving, I leave the traction control "Button" off ! THE A.B.S. is definately worth it, it measures the angular velocity of the wheel, and relays the info. to the computer (much faster than you can predict, and react, so if you panic, and slam on the brakes the car will stop faster and straighter, without skidding) this puts the maximum braking force on the wheels without locking them up into a skid.
