Grandma took my lead on a flat road

Just before the end of the office the winter breaks out again. Lightning ice under the snow. Drive on the driveway, as suddenly from the right calmly a grandmother, my colleague calls such always nicely ‘dry stick’ takes the lead. I fully into the iron, zero chance, pull the handbrake puts me crosswise and thus prevents the impact. My ABS probably died the shock death. Control light does not shine. Later test brakes behave like a car without ABS from earlier times. Am I mistaken or is the ABS on smooth ice without function? On dry road this has always worked and ratted properly. Greeting Axcell
