Antilock Brakes on slippery pavement.
Antilock brakes do not necessarily shorten your stopping distance on slippery pavement. The primary purpose of antilock brake systems (ABS) is to prevent uncontrollable skids and permit continued steering of the vehicle even during hard braking. It may take a greater distance to stop, just remember to steer and you'll have a much better chance of controlling your vehicle on slippery pavement.
