Sounds normal, but why would activating your ABS be a common ocurrence? If you have to hit your brakes so hard that the ABS kicks in that often you must be following people from 2 feet behind their bumper or not paying attention. I live the stop and go nightmare too and hardly ever have to hit the brakes hard unless someone does something stupid in front of me and believe me, the traffic goes from 65 MPH cruising to stopped very fast around here! Then the cycle repeats.
