The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) offers substantial safety advantages, primarily by preventing the wheels from locking during an emergency brake scenario. This feature allows drivers to maintain steering control, which is crucial in avoiding collisions. The ABS is particularly effective on slippery surfaces like wet or icy roads, where the risk of skidding is higher. In addition to enhancing safety, ABS can also contribute to reducing wear on your tires and brakes over time due to its more controlled braking process.
