If you can’t see past your stopping distance you’re driving too fast. Even for your whoopteedoo magical SUV with 4wd, and stability control, and anti-lock breaks. If you have no idea what your stopping distance is, and you’re just driving along, and suddenly a pile of cars appears through the fog you deserve to be in the pileup. The people who did it right do not. But yer gonna hit ‘em anyway beause you’re a dumbass. Obviously rhetorical “you”.
I recall trying to get to the inlaws after a good snowstorm. A foot on the ground and their road hadn't been plowed. I had to stop and couldn't get started again because I couldn't spin the wheels. Typically you spin the wheels and you would sloooooowly move forward. Not with traction control, because every time the wheels would slip out of sync, it would kill power to the wheels. One better. I had a Saturn Vue. It had an option for traction control and ABS. (or just ABS standard) If you didnt purchase the option, you still had traction control. You just didnt get the switch on the console to turn it off.
We had to shovel a path for the tires the last 50 feet so we could get to their driveway.
Have to pull the ABS fuse to kill it.
