A German study of ABS actually found it cause more accidents than it prevented. This is because according to the study, ABS makes people drive faster and less carefully because they believe ABS protects them. Basically there overconfident.

Maybe your car is doing you a favor!.

Hmm interesting. ABS doesn't make your car stop faster all it does is give your steering control while braking. Technically no abs will allow your car to stop faster at the cost of any control during lock up
