PrepTest 122 - Section 4 - Question 11

Show summary

Consumer activist: When antilock brakes were first introduced, it was claimed that they would significantly reduce the incidence of multiple-car collisions, thereby saving lives. ███████ ████████ ██████ ████ ███████ ███ █████████ ██ ████████████ ███████████ █ █████████ ████████ ████ ██ ████ ██████ ██████████ █████████████ █████ ██ ████ █████████ ████ ████ █████

"Surprising" Phenomenon

If antilock brakes have reduced the incidence of multiple-car collisions, why does the consumer activist maintain that, to save lives, automobile manufacturers ought to stop equipping cars with antilock brakes?

Objective

The correct answer must identify how manufacturing cars without antilock brakes could directly or indirectly save more lives than manufacturing cars with antilock brakes even though antilock brakes have reduced the occurrence of multiple-car collisions.
