“Traction control and 4 wheel drive aren’t magic.”

They’ve documented that people drive faster in dangerous conditions, knowing that they have safety devices, like Anti-Lock Brakes. There may have been some improvement with these safety systems, but not nearly as much as expected.

“... have safety devices, like Anti-Lock Brakes.”

And then reality sets in as you hit the brake pedal...and it starts “chattering” at you while you’re tires slide across the ice without hardly any speed reduction at all.

That’s a pucker moment...
