Abstract
An anti-lock brake system for automotive vehicles comprising a master cylinder (1), a device for modulating the pressure supplied to the wheel brakes, at least one control device (2), at least one monitoring device and a device for pressure reduction provided in the rear-axle brake circuit (7). In order to maximally utilize the share the rear-wheel brakes have in the total brake force, without causing an unstable vehicle condition thereby, braking pressure reduction is effected only upon failure of the anti-lock device.
