When driving the ABS system doe not operate. During an attempt to stop pressure on the brake pedal activates the system but it does not always do anything. Only when a wheel skids does the system turn on. A wheel that is still turning while braking is more effective at slowing the vehicle. (look up Kinetic versus Static friction) When the ABS detects a skidding wheel it pulses the pressure to each wheel in a sequence. The pulsing helps keep the wheel turning and slows the vehicle better.
