A System to Prevent Skidding
The term "Anti-Lock Brake" is commonly known, but what does it mean? This system engages when brake sensors detect the imminent lock-up of one or more wheels during braking, which often occurs when the car is sliding or skidding.
When activated, a series of hydraulic valves come into play, modulating the braking force applied to the wheels. Although it may seem counterintuitive, this system prevents skidding and is designed to enhance driver control, ensuring that the car remains on the intended path. Since September 1, 2013, the installation of this system has been mandatory in all cars manufactured in the United States.
