Can you stop faster than ABS?
It is incredible how fast vehicle technology marches on, especially advances in safety and stability systems. Bosch have now been making ABS systems for 25 years, and the electronics have moved on dramatically since the first versions. Conventional racing wisdom says that drivers can usually brake in a shorter distance that ABS using methods such as 'threshold braking', but Bosch think differently:
"ABS significantly improves vehicle stability and usually also shortens the braking distance."
There are very few accurate figures for stopping distances in the same car with and without ABS in the public domain. If you have personal experience in a modern car, in both slippery and high grip surfaces please comment below.
