Just a word of caution,  this test can land you in BIG trouble.  A BMW salesman
rolled my fathers 320i before he took delivery by showing a customer how ABS
handles this test....  If the car has different amounts of traction on the left
and right, you are going to get the car trying to rotate - ABS will help you to
correct, if you are quick enough.
