Only ever had ABS kick in twice, first time in 2002 in a hired Mercedes A160 when driving through some great riding country in Wales in the wet and braking into a tight corner, front right wheel locked up ever so briefly before ABS let it go . . It was an interesting experience.
The Second time, a few years later, was in my ‘99 Ford Explorer in heavy traffic on one of the multi-lane intersections in Canberra and a guy in a white Holden ute decided he really needed to be in my lane, in front of me, and right now. Slammed the brakes on and was thinking I was going to shorten his ute be a foot or two, but ABS kicked in, stopped the wheels from locking up and pulled my 1.8 tonne vehicle up, quick smart. I was greatly impressed.
Not trying for a third test of ABS though.
