Safe Stopping Procedure for ABS Braking and Non-ABS Braking
ABS
ABS allows you to steer out of the way of unexpected hazards.
Diagrams i) and ii) below explain the practical reasons for ABS.
Diagram i) Braking hard on a slippery surface with ABS
In the diagram above, the driver hits the brakes hard on a slippery surface (1), then steers (2), and successfully manages to avoid the obstacle. ABS prevents the wheels from locking, and this allows you steer.
NON ABS
Diagram ii) Braking hard on a slippery surface without ABS
Without ABS, as the driver applies the brakes the wheels lock (1). Despite applying steering lock, the car continues straight ahead due to the loss of steering control (2) and a collision results.
