Why would you want to do that?
It only comes on AFTER your wheels are sliding!
(actually on older systems with only 1 sensor on the rear wheels it can be triggered by lifting a rear tire while turning and braking. Then it releases pressure to ALL the wheels. The olders systems can be bad. Just hard to judge when you should turn it off vs when it would be a good backup to your own skills. )

They probably teach that because if you're
doing those driving exercises aren't you normally in the beginner group? The two track days I attended, the skills portion was for beginners.
Those are likely people who've never got on the brakes as hard as they can in anything but a panic stop. I think the idea is to show them how hard they can push on the pedal and what the car does. If you're teaching a group that has first timers it makes sense to start at the most basic level and work up.

Could be. It was the beginner/intermediate group. I think they should have at least...
explained what was mentioned in this thread, though, so people weren't misled (as I initially was).
