It's just fine. It doesn't change anything. Just keep in mind that ABS is a driving aid, not something to feel like it will brake for you when it's time for the car to stop. ABS prevents the car from locking the tires so you can steer the car, and to shorten your stopping distance. "Stab, stay, steer". In an emergency, STAB the brake pedal with your foot, STAY on the pedal, and STEER to avoid any obstacle in front of you.
