ABS will also provide more even braking action during a fast stop on a
surface with varying traction. Kind of like what is found at every
intersection around here right now. There is a mixture of ice, snow,
and slush, intermittently sanded throughout Anchorage. The temperature
has warmed up to right around freezing, which is the most dangerous time
for driving and is when ABS is the most useful.

If the operator of the vehicle reacts correctly to the ABS engagement by
mashing down the pedal and holding it there, the rig will stop a hell of
a lot quicker than it would if the wheels were locked up! The
increased control is just a bonus.

Motor vehicles are scary to drive on packed ice, period. ABS makes it
