In the UK driving test, does an emergency stop have to be made without ABS?

Ie. If ABS is fitted in the car, does it have to be disabled in order to prove that the driver can perform an emergency stop without skidding?

Answers:
No, it does NOT have to be disabled. BUT, you WILL fail if it engages.and stays engaged as it shows a lack of braking control / skill.

The 'emergency stop' in a UK driving test REQUIRES you to come to a full stop WITHOUT locking the wheels (a VERY small lock-up or ABS flutter is OK, so long as it is instantly corrected)

And it's REALLY rare to do one in the actual test.and most instructors will only 'practice' this once with you.tyres are expensive!!
No it doesnt
no it doesn't but most of the time an examiner won't even ask u 2 do an emergency stop.
No it does'nt,
Examiners rarely ask you to do this anyway.
No it doesn't have to be disabled. (Is that possible)
Anyway, nowadays it's unusual for an examiner to ask you to make an emergency stop.
It's the overall control of the vehicle that they are looking for. The emergency stop is not always included in the test
The answer is no: you could be doing it in a car with or without ABS and to be honest would you have time to disable the ABS in time to do an emergency stop.
No, you are OK with ABS.

The point of the test is to see you can drive safely & so to disable a safety feature would seem to suggest that the driver can't recognise a valuable safety feature of modern cars.

Good luck with the test.

Don't forget if you fail at first it's because the examiner feels you may pose a hazard to yourself & others, & I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that.
In most modern cars, it isn't possible to disable ABS unles you remove the fuse (not practical).

Even if you could, you would not fail your test if you skidded your emergency stop. I know this because I skidded in mine and passed first time.
The answer is NO;
ABS is so common today that it is nearly fitted in all cars
