ABS cars (non ESP): brake while under or over steering?

Driving in ABS operating speed. Road condition not perfect.

1. While braking and avoidance maneuvering, I experience under or over steering. Shall I continue braking?
(With non-ABS cars, when I counteract to oversteering, I do not brake.)


2. While avoidance maneuvering, I feel I need to reduce speed and experience under or over steering. Shall I brake to reduce speed?


Sorry for posting this on Performance Paddock, while the topic is not exactly Performance Paddock.

I think you should enlist in one of the Skid Control schools.
Best couple hundred bucks you'll ever spend.

Manny is correct .... Every car is different, every road surface is different and every emergency situation is different requiring different reactions. You must develop your reactions to cope with potential situations in a SAFE, CONTROLLED environment. If you are serious about asking the question, you need to take one of the courses that teach performance and defensive driving. It will be both an enjoyable experience and money well spent.
