Now is the time to make sure that these are captured and not leave it to chance - because what will happen is you won’t be able to prove compliance with these ADRs, you won’t have an exemption and so you won’t be able to register your car.
Also, there are many ways to make these things work without ABS. So, just because cost prohibits it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
So we have to sort out an exemption now.

Sorry Treeve, I'll disagree on one point.
To have any features of current ABS, an EBCM or ABS module has to fitted, period.
So if they waive ABS, but make ESC compulsory, then an ABS or EBCM has to be fitted.
The DMV people need to realise this before they start rewriting the rule book.
