A Professional would say no but i am no professional, i just wanted to make that known. Personally i dont see a problem with driving a vehicle without ABS, My current vehicle never had them eqquiped from the factory. When your ABS sensor is bad your brakes will not become ANTI-lock so if you slam on them at high speed or in slipery conditions you have a very high chance of breaking traction and losing control of your vehicle.

Before abs brakes became standard equipment that was the way we drove our vehicles and we learned how to drive in all types of conditions to maintain control.
