thats exactly what screwed me over .
i was only 6-7 meters away in a rainy day . the ABS system in P206 is really high quality
@rahi2357 @kollang , if they were not , i probably would have trashed the car and my self
If it wasn't for the airbags (they are really costly
) , the repairing costs wouldn't jump this high .
the radiator and its support is trashed and there is some damage to the chassis , nose panel .
i'm not going to install the airbags for now
i need the car ASAP .
That is bad. 6 meters is not enough for a proper reaction. You, having studied the physiology of nervous system, should have known better that the nerve signals take time to go through optic system, processed for a motor response and then transmitted all the way to your foot. It takes about a quarter of a second for all this to be done. And then you have to respect physics of brakes, inertia and friction. NO WAY, 6 meters is enough. Specially in high speed.
ABS is rather over-rated. It has really not much to do with braking. It is actually a steering control system. It helps you to keep control of steering the car. And that also if properly applied with 3 S technique (Stomp, Stay, Steer). As per an American study, in US, ABS cars are 65% more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than non-ABS cars. You see many drivers do not know how to use ABS and this causes additional fatalities compared to non-ABS cars. I would rather be in a car without ABS but with a safe driver who knows about braking techniques, than be in a ABS car with an unsafe driver who has no respect for laws of physics. In 6 meters with high speed, I doubt even ABS has enough time to get engaged properly, let alone be a decisive factor.
I would strongly
advise against you driving that car without airbags. They saved you today. Any more proof, you want? It is better to take the bus or walk than drive without them.
Additionally if you were (and I sincerely hope) wearing seat belt, your seat belt assembly has to be examined by an authorized and trained (in specialty of seat belts) mechanic since stresses put on it during a crash, are extremely high. They are not designed to survive an accident, they are rather designed for only one serious accident.
Similarly, your brake system has to be examined by an authorized mechanic. Specially the front ones if they are disk assemblies. In hard braking the disks get alot of beating and might even have bent.
Well, Serpi... if are going to .
@Serpentine Thread ban this guy. Without any proof and with just a random external website address, is accusing a respected member here. This troll should be kicked out of this thread. We are tried of Turkish trolls in this section who have nothing else to do except bringing vile here.

One more thing, I forgot to ask. Did you have any neuro symptoms (nausea, vergio, vision, etc problem afterwards)? If so, or even without it, you should have done an imaging of the brain. Chon keh gofti knockout shodi.
