ATM I'm really starting to get ****ed off with it. I learnt to drive in an XE on a dirt road, and think I could brake harder at times in that before ABS kicks in on the ED. I was really ticked off the other day in the city when a lady in the lane to the left of me decided to take a right turn across my lane, when I was around her C pillar. Naturally I hit the breaks, but was nowhere near where it would lock. ABS for some reason kicks in and the break pedal sinks to the floor. ABS then clicks off when I get under 10km/h, so with my brake pedal sitting on the floor, you know what happens next. Thankfully she saw me half way through the turn and managed to accelerate out. If she didn't it would have been a nice tbar.
It might sound stupid, but I've almost had enough and want to disable it.  :So, my question is does anybody know at what point ABS kicks in? Is it when it hits its breaking threshold (lockup) or a bit before? I can just feel in the car its got alot more braking potential there. Cheers.
