ABS Bypass ?

[Tony V8]

Is it illegal to bypass the abs system on your car and revert to a conventional braking system?
I am not asking if it is wise, just legal or not.

How would it be unroadworthy as long as the brakes were upto required level and in balance on the rollers it should pass, my vehicle is available without abs, and on my insurance docs it says its not fitted anyway, (I have tried to change this detail twice but it keeps coming back as non abs).

Non ABS usually have a way of limiting the braking effort to the rear brakes so as to avoid rear wheel lock up. A car with the ABS removed, won't have this.

True mcford, my vehicle is fitted with a mechanical load sensing valve to the rear axle for this purpose.
