In the first demonstration, the none-ABS car "steps out" slightly, but it keep going in the same direction, and stops quite quickly.
In the second demonstration, two wheels are on ice, and two on tarmac, making the car spin. Even so, the spinning car also remains in it's original direction and stops quickly.
If you don't have ABS -- if does not matter- slam that pedal.
@GratiusG U never know what is going to happen on the road, especially when the spin happen, u have no idea where the car is going to hit. Without ABS slaming the pedal while driving a track in a mountain, people will have to find u in the ravine, u know!?
In my experience, which includes using and instructing how to brake in none-ABS cars, I find that any sort of "complicated" method for braking (like pumping) cannot be carried out in real emergencies efficiently, so the advice is to stand on the pedal. Normally, the car will stay straight.
Here we see one side of the car on water, the other on ice! It's an enormous difference in grip. I have stopped cars without ABS with two wheels on tarmac and two on gravel and it stays straight.
I had abs too (i have it currently disabled) it didn´t increase the life of my tyres... actually it made the tyres wear irregularly, my tyres became sort of "squared" because a bit was wornout more than the next, and so on...
Personally I prefer not having abs... I made a couple videos about it, and I´ll keep uploading some more later, if anyone interested check them out, "abs vs non-abs"
Distance is longer on ice/snow/mud or such surfaces. This is because in non-abs cars the locked wheels accumulate snow under them and this helps the car slow down, whereas abs equipped cars don't; you gain directional control at the expense of longer stopping distances.
What type of Mercedes is this one please?
Thank you!;)

so what does ABS help the vehicle stop in a shorter distance?

yes and have more control of ur vehilce while emergency braking

It makes steering possible during hard braking, but the distance is a bit longer.
