Referring to the part in the law that states you have to be able to skid (rear brake), has no one attempted to show the law the physics behind the front wheel brake being more effective? just curious. I'm in school for engineering right now, and we literally just did a problem the other day discussing the stopping distances for a bike/car who's front or rear brake failed taking into account center of mass, moments, friction, angular vel and acc, etc. Obviously the front brake wins, also why cars have much larger front rotors than the back...

Read that mucky is an engineer, you've probably tried this?
