ABS is just a useless gimmick and a crutch for not knowing how to drive and maintain control of your vehicle anyway.
Very Damned Few people can genuinely control their braking foot when the chips are down and the adrenaline is squirting.

I couldn’t disagree more.

In over 40 years of driving I have NEVER had to engage ABS. mainly because I watch where the hell Im going and not playing with the stereo or phone.

I engage ABS practically every day and certainly every week from mid-November to early-March, earlier and/or later in the year depending on the winter weather. Usually but not always intentionally, to judge coefficient-of-friction between tires and icy road. Better to poke the brake pedal and listen for the ABS rattle on the straights, than to be caught by surprise on the curves.

As a Canadian who live in a province that doesn't salt our roads (we have WAY less rust than Ontario or Quebec), I couldn't live without it. My 4WAL has definitely saved me from a crash at least once. Even with fully studded hakkapeliitta tires, the icy conditions in my mountainous town are treacherous at times. Big fan.

My race team runs the factory ABS system on our E36 BMW. You can't outperform it. Stand on the pedal and let it do its job.
