When ABS is activated it does allow for steering. Non-ABS brakes OR ABS not activated will not allow you to steer.

Re: Toronto Fire Service driving to a call

Now wonder if those that were passed by the fire truck now complain the fire truck went roaring by me, then stopped and no need to drive like that. :roll:

Easily see the reason a lot of driver distractions should be removed out of the car.

Some people have no "flippin" clue to move the "flip" out of the way.
