A couple of things maybe be going wrong there.
There is a gear like sprocket on the inside of the 2 front wheels at the back of the brake disc's, these are used by an ABS 'skid' sensor which senses a wheel lock up at speed even at 5mph. I had this problem where just as I pulling into a car space, the ABS clicks in and I can barely stop the car.
So just jack up the car and pull a wheel of and check that the sensor is good, clean and not damaged. Then have a look at the gear like sprocket I mentioned, that its not clogged up with dirt or even badly corroded with rust.
Hope this helps!
