Its illegal (again) which means your insurance is invalid.
Really? 
where do you get that amazing fact from 
As I have said, its illegal to do, have an accident and your really screwed!
Now why dont you just go and buy a sensor and fix it? easy as pie

have you declared your decat or your air filter maybe a dump valve, you well know that no one does thus rendering policies void, as clearly bloody stated once i get a frikin chance i will buy a sensor and swap it , now can you answer the dammmmmm question if not dont post!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't take this the wrong way, but only a fool would not openly declare modifications
Because as stated - technically it declares your policy null and void.
As for is it safe to do - haven't got a clue.

Never tried it on an impreza but usually if you remove the fuse it will register as a fault and light will stay on.
Not sure re the legality. All I know is if the car is fitted with abs then it must be functional but you are permitted to remove the abs fully.

I thought if a sensor was faulty then the ABS wont work anyway, it'll throw up the fault code and disable the system?
You havent said which model you have, but on the classics there should be a black block connector under the dash with a single black wire taped to it - maybe higher up. Connect the black wire to hole 6 of the connector, turn on the ignition and the code will flash up.
ABS DTC list
11 – Start Code, DTC is shown after start code, Only start code is shown in normal condition
Abnormal ABS sensor, open circuit or voltage too high

27 – rear left ABS sensor
Abnormal ABS sensor, abnormal ABS sensor signal
22 – front right ABS sensor
24 – front left ABS sensor
26 – rear right ABS sensor
28 – rear left ABS sensor

32 – Front right outlet valve
33 – Front left inlet valve
34 – Front left outlet valve
35 – Rear right inlet valve

) on BOTH my STI's thanks.As yours has ABS, your not allowed by LAW to disable it, doing so will make your car un roadworthy thus also invalidating your insurance (as you have removed/tampered with the braking system), so your NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT FOOKWIT!!! or did you not understand what you have been told?

I have fully declared everything (dont use crappy "dump valves" the standard re circ is more than sufficient ) on BOTH my STI's thanks.

LOL, see you there then?
Still you dont seem to get it do you?
Suppose some people dont have any idea's or even bother with other road users safety just ones that dont bother with consequences of their actions due to driving a defective vehicle
And your the only one with the attitude, think you need to look a bit closer to home (oh and do you have insurance or do you flaunt that too?)
