[QUOTE="bxnut, post: 366271, member: 16693"] Well, as bimmerholic has quoted, ABS only comes into play when you EB, i.e., when you slam down on the brakes while doing a reasonable clip. Now, if you manage to stop in time, that DOES NOT mean that your ABS is working. When your ABS works is when you brake, resulting in a skid , AND still manage to steer away from the obstacle or the car ahead of you, as your wheels are still rotating. Now , You still need to have your balls intact for you to do that, because its split seconds usually when you're driving fast. The best way of testing I think, is to do slaloms with road cones on a wet drift pad. Thats how BMW Malaysia trained drivers many years ago when ABS was introduced. [/QUOTE]
