Under some rare circumstances, A very good driver may be able to best ABS, but for the average driver, no.
They do say that in some situations you can actualy build up a "wedge" in front of the tires which aid in stopping distances for normal brakes in "skid" mode.
so:
1) you would probably need to be a very good, non panic driver, that can keep his cool when a school bus pulls out in front of you and for some reason stops.
2) operate the vehicle in school playgrounds so you always have a built in wedge factor.
3) be capable of pumping your pedal some 10 times a second.
4) be so in tune with your car, that you can monitor each tire at the same time and adjust brake pressure individualy for each.

If it didn't help, why would insuarance companies offer a discount for cars so equipt?
