ABS just takes away braking power when you need it most. The one time I =
invoked ABS was real eye-opener...not a pleasant ordeal.
I'm trying to figure out how to disable the ABS on my van...

You are correct, ABS was designed to give steering capabilites while =
under hard braking. Well at least thats how they display it on tv.=20

My wife recently crashed her Neon into a ditch. The
momentum carried her through swampy area. She cut a
swath through these cattails and received about $4k of
damage to her Neon. She came out shaken, but otherwise
all right. This happened because she hit a patch of
ice and lost control. After it was over she asked what
she should have done. I told her to press down firmly
on the ABS brakes and steer where she wanted to go,
hopefully away from that steep ditch. She told others
this, and they said I was wrong. They had no other
remedy, except to stay off those brakes. Was I wrong?=20
