The statement is true because the Antilock Braking System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, providing enhanced control and stability. However, its absence does not affect the basic functionality of the vehicle's standard braking system. If the ABS fails, drivers can still rely on the conventional braking system, which will still operate normally. It’s essential, though, to drive cautiously without ABS since the risk of wheel lockup increases during sudden or hard stops. Regular maintenance of the braking system can help ensure that the traditional brakes are functioning effectively, even in the absence of ABS.
