Caprice causing cop complaints
DETROIT (AP) Pol ice offi
cers are heading for remedial
drivers' education lo learn how
to handle new cars with anti
lock brakes, heralded as a safe
ty device
Responding to complaints,
Chevrolet is sending videotapes
to police departments describ
ing anti-lock brake systems, or
AUS. found on Chevrolet
Caprice police cars, said Ralph
Kramer, spokesman for General
Motors Corp 's Chevrolet Divi
sion.
The company also will in
clude a ‘'heavy dose of discus
sion and demonstration of what
ABS is all about" at dealer
meetings within two months,
Kramer said Monday.
Chevrolet acted after the In
diana Fraternal Order of Police
released a study showing police
departments doubled thf reli
ability of Caprice brake sy s
tents.
A third of 100 police depart
ments responding reported
brake failure or poor handling,
said Loo Blar kwell, tin attorney
lor llit! police officers
But Kramer said the officers
may not understand how Cu
price ABS brakes work The
general public, driving more
new cars than ever equipped
with ABS. hasn't complained of
operating problems, CM offi
cials said
Problems may be surfacing
first in police departments lx
cause they push cars harder
than other drivers Chevrolet
has heard no complaints from
taxi fleets, another big class of
Caprit :e buyers, Knnncr said.
