ABS ON vs ABS OFF | What's Really the Difference?

This is stupid! You just slum the brakes and go into skid... what's the point? That's not how you are supposed to operate a non-ABS brakes. Slaming brake pedal to the metal is pointelss - gripless tyres will have FAR less braking action then brake pads and disk, so the distanse increases imansly as shown here. But cadence braking is the answer! And it's something everybody accustomed to driving non-ABS cars in a more active/sporty/involved manner just do subconsciously.

Seems like abs causes me more problems than it prevents

Hay lets slam on the breaks lock up the tires to see how far it will take to stop the car. not a fair test...!

I usually slow down with gear & break, stepping on the break & reducing the gear from 5th to 3rd & releasing the clutch & maybe even going down to 2nd gear, it's always worked for me.

So does a car get ABS from doing 100 sit ups every day and going on a strict diet?

Well, the problem is, that the brake system is not the same in cars with and without ABS - so the rear axle would probably not block in a "proper" non-ABS car. This doesn't change the usefulness of ABS, of course.

NO DO All that in a country with SNOW AND ICE!! You will be worse off with ABS

And why no test while abs off braking like the race driver you are? That would be interesting

Where did you get that life sized standee of Richard Hammond?

Do they not teach drivers in the UK to pump the brakes? Or am I so old I remember how to drive without ABS?

It's funny, I used to drive over a steep snowy mtn pass in an old truck and rarely put in 4wd and descended confidently with reasonable speed. Bought a new truck with TC snd ABS and have to put it in 4wd alot and have to descend at a crawl to keep the ABS from turning it into a runaway train.

wow, just wow

Should have tried “manual” ABS lol, just tap the brake as fast as humanly possible and see what happens

If you arent slamming the brakes the results are different. Mainly with older cars or failing speed sensor systems. Gradual braking and defensive driving prevents those slam moments most the time but not every time. Safe travels! 👍

obviously yes

Why didn't I know this before I ordered my first car? I just ordered it and I've been watching so many videos about cars out of excitement and now I see this? F*ck.

When driving on normal road with the abs of you need to do pumping braking

The difference is that you need to brake differently when abs of.

Do this on ice

i can smell the tyre smoke through my screen

i wish i had ABS

Pointless

Bro how to off ABS of Grande x or Civic X or aqua hybrid and axio hybrid

If I have abs off then I don't fully press the brakes to lock in the wheels I press 75% of the brake so not only the wheels keep spinning still but I have more control when taking turns faster

See my question is getting more into learning about track stuff, I've seen a few guys with track builds saying that some of the newer sticky tires are giving the abs systems on cars fits or throwing codes. Have you ever had this issue?

It is also worth noting that lockup is almost as efficient as rolling braking if the low-speed regime, and also that braking distance is quadratic to initail speed. Both strengthwn the effect that the 50% difference we see here is not distributed linearly along the stopping distance, in terms of speed. It'not like "if you'd hit the pedestrian with 20 km/h residual speed with ABS, then you're looking at 30 without it", but rather MUCH worse.

With abs on you will look sexy that's all

Something odd is with that smoking tires. In motorcycles ABS is weaker than manual braking. Even with average driver. I`m not average.

Goong to get my cars abs fixed first thing tomorrow 😂

Of course abs is going to be better than simply standing on the brakes. 🥴
How about doing this again and braking like an experienced driver instead of complete noob.

Why were you guessing the stopping distance (and getting it so wrong) when the the MOT publishes typical stopping distances for various speeds including specifically 70mph (published braking distance 75 metres) in the highway code (that thing you're supposed to learn and know in order to obtain a licence to drive on UK roads)?

What if we break like abs On and Off manually without abs

If you use ABS you’ll only get 10% bonus reward by the end of the race, but if you don’t use ABS you get 27% bonus reward (does not abide irl)

Now try with no abs and not locking up. You're a pro, you can do it!

One question: Why was Richard so small?

Maybe I should think twice before removing the ABS module from my car.

So even without ABS braking distances are less than what the highway code teaches us.

Да все что делается все против народа эти изготовители автопрозводители наглецы Начну с абс для чего он нужен Ну понятно что для аварии а как еше иначе это не только мои слова а слова всех почти автовладельцев Абс для чего нужен для того чтобы при высокой скорости колесо полностью не блокировались так почему они должны блокироваться если ты ездишь нормально какие на хер абс я ездил 10 лет на вазе и все ништяк А как приобрёл машину другую началось жесть ну это похож сейчас скажу на что пример ТЫ ХОЧЕШЬ ПЕРДЕТЬ НО ТЫ В ГОСТЯХ И ДЕНЬ РОЖДЕНИЯ И ТЫ СЕБЯ УДЕРЖИВАЕШЬ А ТУТ ПРЕДСТАВЬТЕ ЖИВОТ Не ты контролируешь а абс и он хочет пропускает газы и тут ты свою жопу не контралируешь... и тут с абс тоже так при езде 20клм при резком нажатии на тормоз машина не останавливается пропускает тормоза абс сбрасывает давление вы представляете такое ну это ужас какое та при медленной езде машина не останавливается.... Тут вывод один производитель уебок

People who didn't know this never studied basic physics.
Some people pull up the handbrake as if it stops faster, my cousin got hit in the back by someone going 120+km/h and it's so obvious that they tried to use the handbrake only to stop.
The break marks were over 70m

Ty ❤

I used to think only the very best race drivers could brake better without abs. But then I had an abs fault at a couple of track days and found myself stopping better by threshold braking. The downside was that I was having to think quite a lot about more ab out brake pressures, whereas with abs I could concentrate more on other things. Those two days did teach me to recognise the onset of lock-up though, to the extent that I now very rarely invoke the abs. I still wonder whether, if I pull the fuse and learn to properly threshold brake, if I might be quicker.

well explaned

Lol, Richard Hammond!

I can't even imagine how many lives ABS has saved.

can't steer in skid without steering for most people

One question... This days cars are with dual abs and ebd together so how does it work together?🤔🤔🤔
