hmm.. maybe you shouldn't be driving if abs becomes a constant problem.
wheel lockup(wheel as in tires, not steering wheel) happens when the force of your brakes, along with your cars speed, exceeds the max gripping point of your tires, and so your tires stop rotating(im pretty sure we've all done this when we were young with our pedal bikes), but your car is still moving. this is really really bad because when this happens, your stopping distance is increased bigtime. not only do you stop further, but you lose almost all control of your car, that is, if you're locking the front brakes, which happens very easily, especially in wet/icy conditions. when your tires stop moving, your your tires lose the ability to steer because they can't point your car where to go anymore. they might point in a direction, but thats pretty useless without having the tires actually spinning. its pretty much like sliding a rectangle block of wood around, even if you slide it at 45% angle, it'll still slide in the direction you pushed it, and not the direction its pointing to. ever go down a snowy hill on a crazy carpet, only not being able to actually steer the thing very well, and often even spinning while going down? same effect. but then some might say "then why the hell can skiis, snowboards, and GTs have control?" its because they are digging/carving into the snow. thats why in icy areas in a hill/mountain, where you cant carve into it, you can easily slip and fall, or go straight when trying to turn.
now what abs(stands for Anti Braking System) does, is unlock your brakes so that you can gain control, and apply the brakes again at whatever force youre putting on them. what most people do though, its push the brakes even harder, which will only make them lock up worse.
now an easy way(easy with experience) to overcome the oh so awsome abs is to not let it even activate. if it turns on, that means youre locking up your brakes, and youre pushing too hard on the peddle. it may seem scary not pushing the brakes as hard as possible, but trust me, its even more scary coming up on something and barely having your car slow down at all and not being able to turn/swirve to avoid it. if youre too scared to do this, and your abs(if you have it) does happen to activate, you should hear, and feel, it pulse. instinct tells you to push even harder on the brakes because brakes=stopping, but you have to go against it and slightly let off of them so that they stop locking up. same with a car without abs. if you feel yourself sliding, let off the brakes and then apply them again, but at a lesser force. a good thing to do also, is to not brake suddenly, but push it almost as if it was your gas pedal, in a manual car and youre starting from a stop. gradually going up to the max gripping point of your tires you'll have a better chance not totally going past it.
