Anti-lock? As in "Anti-Lock Brakes"? Many cars don't come equipped with Anti-Lock Braking Systems. If you car is supposed to have anti-lock brakes and they are not working properly, you should have them fixed. You should never drive around with faulty brakes.
The basic foundation brakes are the same but the anti-lock is an addition to the basic system.More: Anti-lock brakes have a sensor that will cause the brakes to pulsate when the brakes get near the point of locking up so you can still steer and move while braking.The system only kicks in during hard (emergency) braking.More: Anti-lock brakes can feel very uncomfortable when first experienced. The chattering and shaking can make you take your foot off the brake thinking something is wrong. To get over this I found an empty parking lot and compared stopping distances.I braked hard to use the anti-lock brakes and repeated the exercise until I felt confident that all that chattering improved my stopping distance.
Be pointless. The point of anti-lock brakes it to effectively "pump" the brakes for you.
