It had rained earlier in the day and the roads were still wet. i was traveling 30 mph in a 40 mph zone. i applied my brakes approx. 200 feet prior to the traffic and stop light. the car skidded. at 150 feet i broke harder and the abs engaged. the harder i pushed the more the car skidded. the brakes never stopped the car -- it only slowed it down. the only time the car stopped was when it hit the suv in front of it, causing $3,000 worth of damage to my car. either the brakes don't work properly, or there is not enough traction with the tires. (goodyear integrity).*jb
