ABS makes stopping faster in panic situations for people who haven't practiced panic braking and keeping the brakes right at that threshold.



I think that very important point is worth repeating, and to state the obvious is ABS "cycles" brakes between near lockup and release, and that actually increases stopping distance over the experienced driver as you mentioned.



I'll third that and add that I've read tests where in side by side comaprisons, profesional drivers can outdrive the ABS computer.

Seperate fromteh original topic, but relative to ABS, I've been in off road situations where locking up the tires and pushing a gravel berm in front of them was a much safer way to stop than having ABS modulate a vehicle into a potentially disastarous situation.
