IMO, ABS must be fucking pants in the snow, i always thought i could slow a bit better in the snow by locking up a bit. Dads Galaxy was crud, the ABS got really confused with ice and snow conditions.
Cant believe im missing the snow fucking shit australia

Does slow you down better than no abs tho

If you don't have ABS the snow compacts in front of the tyre and helps you stop a little bit, if you have ABS it just keeps rolling over it.
