This control is the cause of most 'ABS' related incidents. A driver see something jump out, jumps on the brakes to stop, and turns hard to miss it. In a non ABS car the hard turn would result in a slight change of direction, as happens when you have no traction. in a car with ABS a hard turn on the steering wheel means a hard turn for the car. Suddenly a car the driver expects to turn slightly is facing tree/ditch/oncoming traffic etc. Is this the fault of ABS or the driver who doesn't understand it? of course abs allows you to maintain steering if it didn't it wouldn't be working, ie the wheels would be locked. But on the same part a car with non-abs and a driver that realises when the wheels are going/locking up will maintain steering as well. [Report message to a moderator]
