ABS lets a car make a controllable stop push your cars brakes hard enough and abs shuts off, allowing wheel lock up. This is why you never slam on your brakes in a car, or a bike with properly setup brakes with good pads.
The first statement is correct only if the brakes are balanced that way. The second statements are incorrect. ABS does not shut off. The proper way to quickly stop a car with ABS is to stand on the pedal as hard as you can (or at least hard enough to engage the ABS).
