You are correct, ABS was designed to give steering capabilites while under hard braking. Well at least thats how they display it on tv.

ice and lost control. After it was over she asked what
she should have done. I told her to press down firmly
on the ABS brakes and steer where she wanted to go,
hopefully away from that steep ditch. She told others
this, and they said I was wrong. They had no other
remedy, except to stay off those brakes. Was I wrong?
