drivers are trained to brake gently on slippery roads or to pump their brakes to avoid a skid. But it is firm, continuous brake pressure that is required to activate anti-locks, which should never be pumped. This is exactly what the antilock feature does for the driver automatically, it pumps the brakes many times a second. With the driver pumping antilock brakes during a skid, braking effectiveness may be reduced to the point of not having brakes at all. Because

ways to figure out the speed of the car is by measuring the distance of the skid marks or the crush of the vehicle that got hit. They can find the speed of the vehicle by measuring the distance of the skid mark and plugging it into the equation v=2dgf where the v is the unknown velocity in feet per second, the d is the distance of the skid mark, the g is the gravity constant, and the f is the friction that caused the skid mark. When that equation is solved they would have to convert it from seconds

Both of these works are street art installments by an anonymous artist in LA who is known as Skid Robot. This artist travels around LA to different homeless areas and spray paints imaginary homes for the homeless to bring awareness to the growing poverty level in LA and the rest of the country.

In this essay a discussion will be explored about the benefits and problems associated with police use of discretion. Which current policing strategies have the most potential for controlling officer discretion and providing accountability, and which have the least, and why is that the case?

Riptide looks down at his drink with a sigh taking a sip ignoring Whirl. While Skids let out a huff. “Come on Whirl give it a rest” Skids interrupts. “We were trying to have a conversation”. “Okay? So I have a question that needs to be answered”. Whirl taps a claw to his helm. “No, wait how do you feel about being the ugliest bot on the Lost Light?”.
