Check the fluid level in the master cylinder - if low th elight will sometimes come on.

No. Did you go to a carwash or something. Spinning the wheels too fast will make the anti-lock light come on. But it should go off when you restart the car. If it is on now, one of the sensors are bad. Sorry.

i did go to the car wash but that was a night **, and it happened *** as i was on the highway today. i turned it off and turned it on again and no light but i haven't driven much after that.
i have put on winter tires as well and it does suck a lot since it's dry and all, maybe that might cause it.
