brakes locked up- help
the other day I was coming off the freeway to a red light, there was a light rain, roads were a little wet. started to brake ( I was not going over 30 mph at this point ) as I started to slow down (doing about 10 mph ) the front wheels locked up and I slid a little sideways, released the brakes and reapplied, locked up again, it felt like the brakes got to a certain point then got hard. I managed to not slide into the intersection. but am concerned about braking on wet roads. luckily there were no cars in front of me. And no I did not slam on the brakes. I am an experienced driver from the old school of no ABS days, so I know how to maneuver on slippery surfaces, ( brake- turn into skid- release. ) any one have any suggestions.
I just got this rig about 2 weeks ago so I am still shutting off lights. at this point they are all off except rear ABS.
