Default ABS brakes

Can someone tell me if these work when you're going backwards?

Backwards through a hedge? Not much use by then! Just brace yourself and hope it doesn't hurt

Should be easy enough to try on snow, as the ABS kicks in very easily then.

(might look a bit stupid though )

I did it at 60 mph in reverse and I dont think the ABS kicked in , they just felt like they were not moving and totally locked up

Obviously not going fast enough!

I think you might need a HKS suction pipe if you want to drive backwards fast Jamie

I dont want to drive backwards fast , I was just thinking from a safety perspective . There are no air bags behind your head either
