You decrease pressure when it locks. It's called modulating I do believe. Disc brakes supposedly do it for you, although I don't understand how.
I generally try not to lock my front brake, but it has briefly happened.
Edit: Also, it's usually late in the stop, and by this time my back wheel is 30 degrees out. I hate those stops. Stupid dog handlers (I like the dogs).
