Yes, braking distances are generally longer on slippery surfaces, even with vehicles equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). While ABS helps maintain steering control and prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, it does not improve the inherent traction between the tires and the slippery surface. Consequently, the reduced grip means that vehicles will still take longer to stop compared to dry conditions.
