When ABS kicks in, it knocks me out of focus on driving. ABS is like you are slowing down at 5 feet per sec, 2 feet per sec, 3 feet per sec, 4 feet per sec. Every split second, the rate of deceleration changes completely. I cannot predict the stopping distance very well. I don't know if I should steer out of the way because I don't know if it will stop in time or not.

With no ABS, it is more uniform. You slow down at almost the same rate of deceleration. That is what it feels like to me. That way, it helps me determine if I will make it staying straight, or if I should steer out of the way to avoid the accident.

I know ABS is much safer and better in every situation, I just don't like how it feels.
probably one of the most intelligent pro non abs responses yet.... i agree somewhat, i just like having the option to steer out of the way if i dont feel i'll be able to stop in time.
