The introduction on most modern cars of ABS [antilock braking system] is beginning to make skid marks less common. However, careful scene examination can reveal scuff marks from vehicles that have braked heavily albeit the ABS has activated. Where no skid or ABS scuff marks have been identified the collision investigator will have to resort to other methods to assess pre-impact speeds of involved vehicles.
