Reply to comment by JiveTalkerFunkyWalkr in ELI5: What is the fastest way to stop a car with a manual gearbox ? by navenarf

Absolutely incorrect that locked up wheels stop faster than ABS. Skidding wheels stop slower due to a lower coefficient of friction.

ABS also controls all four brakes at once, which is something you cannot do with the 1 brake pedal.

Shit, I am wrong. So confidently wrong too. Cring. ABS does stop faster in almost all cases.
