I just got a new car with them and I got to use the brakes for the first time with the snow and the car would simply not stop. And I mean, I was going around 20km/h, but when I had to suddenly brake, the car just kept sliding. And it was not the snow, it was the brakes, the wheels were not stopped. Had to swirve right into a snow bank to stop it.
Is this shit normal? Just feels like something's skipping (I know it's the calipers going on and off rapidly) when you try to brake hard, and it really feels like shit. You don't feel in control of the car at all.
So, any thoughts on ABS? Am I doing something wrong? You experiences, etc.

abs is a stupid meme
>be driving up a steep tight country lane in autumn britbong last year >wet leaves and mud everywhere >v slippery >modern landrover comes the other way down the hill towards me a bit fast >he brakes >i can see the wheels locking and unlocking >just rolles right up to the side of my shitbox and stops just in time for a split second >wheels continue locking and unlocking a few times more even though he was stopped >bumps into my car and keeps going down the hill till hes off the wet leaves
if he didnt have abs he would have locked his wheels and come to a stop or he could have braked gently like you should and come to a nice controlled stop
im pretty young and like computers but i like that shit out of my car, i dont need a calculator to decide how to brake for me

Yeah same. I'm legit rolling with my hand on the handbrake now. At least that does what it's supposed to do, no bullshit.

ABS will stop you as fast as your car can without locking the wheels
Locking the wheels slows you down SLOWER than if your wheels don't lock, thus the laws of physics regarding friction
In your situation you were stopping as fast as your car could, you would NOT have stopped ANY faster if your brakes locked or you didn't have ABS

you guys are fucking idiots, using the hand brake stops you slower

>im pretty young and like computers but i like that shit out of my car, i dont need a calculator to decide how to brake for me Anecdotes don't count for much. It's like saying seatbelts are shit because you knew a guy who flew out of the windshield and landed safely in a haypile instead of smashing his face into his steering wheel. You're not as in control as you think you are, and you'll more likely get into a braking situation at some point in your life where ABS is the factor between writing off the car or replacing a bumper cover.
Nicholas Smith
you guys are fucking idiots, you brake slower when your wheels lock not faster.
Tyler Gomez
His tires locking wouldn't have stopped him
You can't even steer if your wheels are locked
Carson Rodriguez
Holy fuck you have to be American, the hand brake is for parking you absolute fucking moron. how have you not crashed and died in all these years of slamming your foot on a brake like a gorilla and locking the wheels before you got this car with ABS?
Henry Thomas
