F**K.. slid thru a hill y'day for 20 secs in the snow... the ABS was kicking in but car..
wouldn't slow down... was increasing speed while going down (of course).... I'm glad there was no one else around it was around 1130 pm... but.. **** that gave me a scare!

ABS does not shorten stopping distance; just keeps you going in straight line ...
and from spinning out and killing yourself!
As a parent of three teenage drivers, I've had to coach/teach them about this concept being that we live in a snowy climate. With AWD and ABS, people think they can do anything in the snow or on ice until they get going too fast for conditions!

Low tires might be it... but I think I saw the instrument clusters while sliding..
down but no "ESP" sign popped up.. and I was going down for a good 20 seconds.... had enough time to pop my head down to see the clusters.
