Interestingly I read an article based on road fatalities in the USA and what lead to some of today's technology around braking, particularly Emergency Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Force Distribution and ABS. It essentially stated that 3500 lives would have been saved if only the person had pushed the brake pedal harder in an emergency. They tested the cars and concluded that the cars had the ability to stop satisfactorily and in time except the driver just didn't push the brake pedal hard enough. My Australian Ford Performance Vehicle F6 (4L Turbo) owners manual states that in an emergency to push the pedal hard and fast and let the computer and the EBD/ABS/EBA do the rest.
