typical ABS I'd agree. What are they like on an open road, all as per normal or do they lock up?

Sounds like the ABS, and ABS is useless in ice or snow.

Thats exactly what i did when my brakes failed on my last car.

I thought it would cost less to repair the rear bumper than to replace the front end and engine ;)
