All four wheels locking up? Let's see:
If they do this when you're not depressing the brake pedal at all, it is likely that the brake fluid has been contaminated with oil. If so, it will be necessary to replace the master cylinder, fluid reservoir cap, all flexible brake hoses, all calipers, all wheel cylinders and if it is a wagon the proportioning valve. It is also possible that the brake pedal is not fully returning to the full up position. Check for any obstructions.
If it happens when you are depressing the brake pedal:
Most likely:
-depressing pedal too hard
-under-inflated, worn, excessively old, or mismatched tires
-faulty shock absorbers and/or springs
-excessive looseness in steering/suspension linkages especially strut rod bushings or outer tie rod ends
-incorrect wheel alignment
-friction material contaminated my exposure to fluids, flood damage

Can you drive a vehicle if the anti lock brakes go out?
yes, the only purpose of the anti-lock system is to keep the wheels from locking up when you slam on the brakes. The brakes them selves function as usual. You will just have the chance of locking your wheels up and sliding if you slam on them.

Why antilock breaking system is widely used?
I hope I understand your question. Anti-lock brakes are used to keep your brakes from locking if you slam them on. If your wheels lock, your tires will skid on the pavement. This will increase your stopping time and possibly throw your car into an uncontrollable skid since one front wheel may skid before the other. Wet pavement exacerbates the problem.
