ABS of the day was hopeless in gravel or on dirt, though. Just not
designed for it, and it seriously lengthened stopping distances, at
least in S-Class Mercedes. If you have an ABS bus and frequent dirt,
try crash-stops. You might consider fitting a switch in the ABS
circuit so you can turn it off...
