Anti-Lock Braking System

It can be very challenging to stop a van on a slippery road. Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) takes the effort and stress out of this situation. The theory is simple – a wheel that is locked and and skidding has far less grip that a wheel that is not. So ABS stops the wheels skidding while you slow down, which means you actually slow faster and can still steer as you come to a stop.
