ABS - or is it Pure BS

*Having had decades of extensive driving during the long cold winters in
*western Canada, Qebec and Ontario , I would consider myself a quite skilled
*slippery road driver. The worst thing you can do when you go into a skid is
*lock your brakes. The best is to turn into the skid and use your
accellerator
*and steering to bring it back under control. I would rather have any brake
*action under my control and hope I can steer out of it without using
them.There
*are courses up here which teach this technique. ABS seems just damnright
*dangerous to me,

What happens when that novice (or anyone for that matter) who is used to
ABS,
when the ABS system fails?

* except perhaps for the complete novice who would lock his
*brakes out of fear and inexperience. I have also had experiences of
*power-steering failure one of which resulted in a serious accident for
myself.
