>>On dry and wet pavement ABS will decrease stopping distances fractionally.
Threshold braking is still a valuable skill for all drivers to work towards.<<

A skill that will disappear as time goes on. Many young drivers won't ever drive a non-ABS vehicle, and you can't learn threshold braking with ABS. So that skill will become a lost art, developed only be people who drive old vehicles. Knowing how a car reacts when skidding is very valuable IMHO, but cannot be taught unless ABS can be turned off.
