in the many 10's of 1000's of miles i have driven in volvos since ABS was introduced in 1982 , ABS has never engaged with me . it will help in accident scenarios but it cant defy the laws of physics ie mass vesus speed verus tyre grip ... Its greatest benefit is being able to STEER whilst panic braking..
braking and steering will be an automatic reaction anyway ...
