I see there are times when I have to lay things out a little more plainly. The A in ABS stands for Anti-lock so by definition with ABS the brakes arent supposed to be locked. Given that ABS has been around for 20+ years on the automobile, there are many souls in this world who have never driven a car without it. I was simply making the point for those who've yet to man up and drive a real car that with the fronts locked, you aint doing any steering. If you look at the video, though you cant seeing any smoke, you can see clearly that there is more steering lock on the fronts than should be for the direction LHs car is traveling in. Ergo brakes locked. Thus the notion the LH or KR for that matter could choose who they'd hit is made even more idiotic given that under the circumstances they demonstrably had no steering.
