99.9% of the time, your brakes will operate exactly the same as conventional brakes.















ABS only engages on slippery surfaces and during a panic stop - at which time you will fell and hear the brakes rapidly apply and release.

When your vehicle is equipped with ABS brakes, you do not pump them to avoid lock-up as you would with a vehicle not so equipped. So they are easier to use because you don't have to train yourself to pump the brakes during an emergency.

there is nothing to get used to.































ABS is just a safeguard to prevent your tires from locking up during really hard stops. other than that, your brakes practically function normally

just use your brakes like normal, except when they pump you will feel it vibrate and just keep pushing instead of lifting off.
