ABS query.

[LanganFF@aol.com]

Several weeks ago my ABS light came on permanently. Suggestions form the list
solved the problem, and  my mechanic replaced the 4 wires. The light is now
off.

But he tells me one sensor...I thinkthe left rear--  is not working. He's an
old racing driver -- Can-Am chamption 1986-- and a mechanic trained in
Germany. "The first thing we always did at the track was turn off the ABS
System."

He says I can drive without the one rear sensor...sine the front ones work.
Is this safe?  Should I drive on the higheway with the ABS off?

Any help appreciated. No suggestiosn to dump mechanic.He's always trying to
save me money and he's honest.
