An anti-lock system for vehicle brakes of the type wherein a computer is used to process data received from wheel speed transducers and to control the release of the brake of a particular wheel when the deceleration and/or slip of that wheel exceeds predetermined thresholds. In order to increase the immunity of the system to road irregularities while maintaining skid detection sensitivity, it is arranged that, during periods that anti-lock is not currently evoked, the detection of a road bump at the front axle is used to cause the rear axle anti-lock system to be temporarily de-sensitized just before it would be expected, on the basis of speed and wheel-base, to reach the same bump. Bump recognition at the front wheel(s) is achieved by identifying those occasions when front wheel speed deviation exceeds a predetermined "window" threshold level which is chosen to correspond to the bump severity needed to overcome the normal rear axle "first cycle" threshold but which does not meet the criteria needed to evoke the front axle anti-lock system.
