Maybe so, I seem to recall hearing that one point. However, there's a lot of variables to that (i.e., road surface [pot holes/dips], surface temperature, sand/salt on the surface, tire type, etc). What I can tell you is that even on dry road services, she gets squirrely if I lock them up, so I avoid screeching my tires. I owned several boats (i.e., a large sedan) without ABS, and they've all behaved the same.

This conversation also has me wondering, how many people don't understand ABS (not you). What I'm getting at here is how many people drive in a manner that has them constantly activating their ABS system...

I haven't activated ABS for braking very often, but it's pretty loud when I do... Not as loud as locking up tires, of course. But I would think people would learn to change their driving if they're getting thumping on braking frequently.
