Hi,
Since we each have some considerable Track experience, I'm not surprised that we agree.
One small point though, your hypothetical about the accident which didn't happen and therefore not added to the Ins. Stats may be valid. But, the ins. statistic of rear end collisions/mi. driven remains unchanged since the advent of ABS. So while I am also sure that some accidents have been avoided due to ABS and not reported, not enough to positively impact the statistics. The rate remains the same...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
