Had the opportunity to really stomp on the brakes of ol' Phred today.  Don't
these mo'rons in their F**d Behemoth's know that if I'm in the right lane and
not moving over to the left when they want to merge, it's because the Roadway
truck next to me can't move either?  So anyway, this mo'ron just merges into my
lane form the onramp, without any regard whatever, and I have to stand on the
brakes to avoid becoming one with her driver side rear door.  The concerning
part comes from the fact that the brakes did not lock up like I thought they
would.  Sure, I slowed in a hurry - ask the guy in the Mazda that was two feet
from my bumper! - but shouldn't the brakes have locked?  I have had no problem
with the brakes at all.  They work(ed) fine in every other situation.  There is
no peddle sponginess, no pumping.  Any clues?  Suggestions?

TIA...
