An anti-lock braking system for an automobile having a front right road wheel, a front left road wheel, a rear right road wheel, and a rear left road wheel, the braking system comprising:

• a wheel cylinder for one of the road wheels to be controlled;
• a brake unit operative in response to a control signal to regulate brake pressure within said wheel cylinder;
• and
• a control unit operative to apply said control signal to said brake unit,
• said control unit being operative to determine a controlled wheel speed for the one road wheel to be controlled,
• said control unit being operative to compare said controlled wheel speed with a reference value,
• said control unit being operative to develop said control signal in response to result from comparing said controlled wheel speed with said reference value;
• wherein said control unit is operative to select a higher one of the actual wheel speeds of road wheels on the opposite side, with respect to a longitudinal center line of the automobile, to the side where the one road wheel to be controlled exists,
• said control unit is operative to select a lower one of said selected higher one actual wheel speed and the actual wheel speed of the one road wheel to be controlled, and
• said control unit is operative to set said selected lower one actual wheel speed as said controlled wheel speed.
