I was under the primary assumption that ABS simply allows you to manuever your car while the brakes are locked up? A couple years ago in snow with bald tires behind a stupid driver my brakes just died but I was able to turn my car and go around the other car (in between it and mailbox...wierd I don't know how I got thru)

So could someone clarify ABS for a moron like me? TIA.
