I did that test in an empty parking lot the first big snow after I got the vehicle. Go out and hit the brakes on the snow/ice and see how it reacts. This was a 3 channel and I could stop better with the abs fuse out every time.

Wife's car doesn't have ABS, we had went to dinner with her parents one time and were on our way back when we came aross a highway overpass and there was an accident in the other lane so right in the middle of the bridge, even though the accident was on the other side of a big cement divider the person in front of us decided she needed to come to a complete stop. I slammed on the brakes and started skidding then said out loud "oh yea, no ABS" released the pressure enough to get traction again and went around her. Of course keeping a safe following disatnce helped there too. I've seen those studies online that say ABS hasn't decreased accident rates since people get over confident because of it and drive a little more riskier.
