| Driving east on us 30 in slow moving traffic on wet pavement (due to previous rain) between toronito street and loucks mill road in york, pa, i attempted to slow down to stay with the traffic and realized the brakes were not working, i applied full pressure expecting the abs to activate and nothing happened. i ran into the back of the car ahead which went into the car in front of him. the impact did not activate the airbags. my seatbelt held me but i did receive whip-lash. the insurance company has totaled my car. | |||
