Team-BHP - View Single Post - Doing a handbrake turn to avoid an accident in an ABS vehicle?

I wanted to know how do we handle a situation when we don't have enough time to stop with an ABS fitted car, identifying an sudden object coming in front of us, say a lorry comes and stops in the middle of the road. Is it possible to drift the car to 180 to reduce the speed and stop it(when both the sides are empty).

Please throw your thoughts on this.
