Well, I don't think that's exactly what Paul said. I believe he
added the caveat of an experience driver pumping the brakes. Well
that's what ABS does FOR the driver. Also, I disagree that locking the
wheel up provides the most effective braking. My experience and lots of
studies say otherwise. Just think; if locking them up was most
effective why pump the brakes?
Cheers,
