A comment below mentions this, and it's one factor that can be age-related without invoking ‘dumb old people pressed the accelerator by mistake’. People who learned to drive before ABS were taught to pump the brakes.
- alistairSH 11y agoI hadn't even thought of pre-ABS drivers being taught to pump the pedal to avoid skidding. I was thinking of my old race car days, where a low pedal (boiled fluid or worse) could be temporarily reversed by a few pedal pumps to bring up the line pressure.
