RE: Do ABS breaks work? Ask how I know
Glad to hear you are okay.
Thanks for reporting your experience with ABS.
This technology works. Not a cure all but another tool for when you need it.
Like many I bought the ABS to keep from locking the rear brake.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. They are worth every penny you spend on them. I have only needed mine one time sinceI bought my 08 and hope I never have to use them again.

As I understand the ABS process sensors detect any wheel slippage during front and rear braking and then apply (hundreds) of on/off pluses to the brakes to keep the tires from loosing traction. Again, well worth the money.
