Anti-lock braking systems are very good on wet roadways with less then normal or little friction?
The anti-lock braking system usually reduce the skidding that occurs when tires lock and therefore allows the driver more control during emergency braking. Having the tires on ABS can help a stranded driver to veer away from emergency situations.

What do anti lock braking systems prevent when used in an emergency stopping situation?
It prevents the tires from locking up.
When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
What does abs stand for?
ABS means Anti-Lock Braking System!
What does the ABS light mean in a 97 Cavalier?
The ABS light coming on means that the abs is not working. When braking hard the car could lock up the tires and slide.
What American car had the first anti lock braking system?
The 1970 Lincoln Continental was the first American car with ABS.
What cause your car to screech?
Sudden and harsh braking movements can cause the wheels to lock. When the rubber tires rub against gravel, the resulting friction can cause a loud screech.
Does the BMW X5 have a limited slip differential?
No, the X5 uses automatic differential braking, which sends power to the tires that have grip by individually braking the tires that don't.
What are the latest trends in braking system in automobiles?
it is called abs. anti lock braking system
What is ABS in automotive technology?
ABS consists to anti-lock braking system...It make sure to not lock wheels while braking...In rainy season it is pretty useful...
What is the proper way to brake in an emergency situation with non-anti-lock braking system brakes?
Pump the brake pedal constantly to the point where the tires begin to skid but release pressure when they begin to lockup.
