Isn't that to say that otherwise you would have eased off the accelerator
when passing the oncoming car or the mouth of the junction. That's certainly
what my copy of the HMSO's /Driving/ advises as best practice. In that case
you may well have swallowed or more than swallowed the benefit of the ABS in
the additional speed.

Um, no. Round here in the south east (london) if you did that at every
junction or oncoming car you'd be doing a grand 0mph in very short
order, unfortunately.
