That works well under expected situations. When unexpected things
happen, even very good drivers can mash the brake pedal as hard as
possible, because of panic. Panic is something that is very hard to
train for. Driving in bad conditions, you expect the poor traction and
can prepare for it and react properly. But it's very hard to prepare for
a child chasing a ball into the street, catching you completely unaware,
and you hit that brake pedal as hard as you can. That's when ABS is
good.
