That was really skillful driving.
Longer wheelbase vehicles don’t rotate quite as quickly so you have a lot more time to correct before things go haywire. They finally started to get the hang of the brakes and manually pulsing them near the end. At the beginning every time he locked up the brakes it just rotated more.
ABS doesn’t really help here because it works by a difference in speed between the wheels. If they’re all locked up then there is no difference.
So the Anti-Lock Brakes don't work because they are locked up?
Yep if all the wheels are locked up it just thinks you are stationary, ABS only kicks in if there is a difference like it front wheels lock but back wheels are rolling. Smarter systems (like on bikes) would also monitor motion.
