Anti-Lock Brake Conversion?

I have seen both sides.

I have been in a ford product in a parking lot. One front wheel on ice, hit the brakes and the abs releases all brakes causing an accident.

However, many many more times in winter conditions, in a plymouth voyager, audi a4 or bmw 325 the abs has proved to be awesome, stopping the vehicle way before and more controlled than any experienced driver ever could.

The benefits of modern abs far outweigh the negatives. Especially with inexperienced drivers in less than ideal road conditions. I do believe though, that every driver should spend some time in an icy or snowy empty parking lot without abs, learning how to brake and slide. I did this with both of our kids.
