Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) - Motor Sports (gambling)


A computer-controlled braking system that senses impending wheel lockup and pulses the brakes many times a second to prevent it. This results in the most important benefit of ABS: by preventing wheel lockup, it allows the driver to maintain steering control. Unfortunately, too few drivers are trained to use ABS properly. When the system engages, it may vibrate the brake pedal. A driver who doesn' t know how to use ABS may lift his foot from the pedal when he receives this feedback, effectively disengaging the system
