Look under the section titled "Effectiveness"
Can non-ABS equipped cars stop shorter than ABS equipped cars? Yes in the right circumstances it most definitely can. But generally speaking, if you have a non-ABS equipped car you would have to be spot-on with your threshold braking technique to stop shorter than the same car equipped with ABS.
I don't know about you guys, but the chance of me employing perfect threshold braking at 7am in the morning when I'm driving to work is slim to none, so ABS it is.
