Is there a way to turn off ABS?
I missed my turn in icy conditions last year because of it
MAY require less braking distanceHere's a quote from Mazda CX5 manual. I was describing a different technique, locking wheels while turning, but that's too advanced, probably. I hope this is going to stop the discussion regarding potential benefits of "normal" braking system vs ABS if the driver knows how to operate it.
•Braking distances may be longer on loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for example) which usually have a hard foundation. A vehicle with a normal braking system may require less distance to stop under these conditions because the tires will build up a wedge of surface layer when the wheels skid.
MAZDA KNOWS BETTER
lol wtf? The red trajectory is the exact line you would take WITHOUT ABS, because you would have no steering control. Defeating ABS on a road car, especially in low-traction conditions, is completely asinine.in same exact way this guy describes here Why ABS is Dangerous (And How to Disable It)
I followed the red trajectory on his picture... (in my previous '16 cx5)
Having owned non-abs cars in nineties I know that if my front wheels got blocked for a second turning them (while blocked) and releasing the brake would have produced enough turning momentum
