Trust is a funny thing
. When braking on dry or wet roads your stopping distance will be about the same as with conventional brakes.
You should allow for a longer stopping distance with ABS than for conventional brakes when driving on gravel, slush, and snow. This is because the rotating tire will stay on top of this low traction road surface covering, and effectively "float" on this boundary layer.
A non ABS braked vehicle can lock its tires and create a snow plow effect in front of the tires which helps slow the vehicle. These locked tires can often find more traction below this boundary layer.
Snow under pressure sticks to ice better than frozen rubber does. You want the tire to stop rotating so it can build up a 1/2 layer of snow.
Which you would be doing, except you've found it more worthwhile to read Slashdot or play Angry Birds or whatever is it you're doing. So please go lecture another site. Should, could, would, but you don't "do".
Boo hoo hoo. We can't hear you from the other side of the slave pits. Please, grovel a little louder and fer Pete's sake, more tears. That access point ain't cheap!
You're not really of the grid if the local police have you on record as "Stinky Guy on the Steps.."
slippery ice covered roads already are quite covered by the computer in your existing car.
No, they're not. There's nothing quite like the OMG feeling of the stupid ABS system completely unlocking all 4 wheels as you approach a red light.
Leave him alone
If he wanted to be left alone, all he had to do was SHUT UP! Same as if Shuttlewirth doesn't want to be criticized, he should stop making stupid announcements that are a joke - like his latest brainfart about Ubuntu "out-innovating" Apple and Microsoft.

Here's a clue - if that would "give a whole new dimension to experiencing your life", you need to step away from the keyboard and get a life!.
