Lambolica Forums Junkie Location: Northwestern Sydney Registered: August 2002	Re: New found respect for ABS Wed, 23 March 2005 20:18 Like Toobs said, But on top of that I was spinning and aquaplaning which is fun to get out of at the best of times. Sliding sideways (drifting if you like) the car is moving sideways and the wheels not actually turning. As the car came around forward the wheels start to move into a position where the wheels can turn with the direction of the car so for that brief time the ABS can kick in and got the locked up wheels turning and breaking the aquaplane enought to give me 1/2 a chance of controlling my direction. In short in an emergency straight line braking without ABS, you stab at the brake the fronts (at least) lock up and slide, if you turn the wheel to avoid trouble you will keep going straight forward. With ABS the sensors on the wheels detect that there has been a lock up and pulsates the brakes near the optimum braking level for any wheels that have locked (like punching the brake very quickly (30 times per second as stated above) if you turn the wheel under ABS activication to avoid an accident the wheels will still be turning, have grip and the car will turn.
