Obviously, we don’t get lake condition blizzards. When weather is predicted, you make a calm trip to the store to get a few groceries and then just plan to stay home if it gets really bad.
      So, when do we explain to people that when the temps slide deep into the negative, that we leave a sink running to prevent frozen pipes?

    if your truck has ABS don't pump your brakes, that's the whole idea of the ABS and it can apply and release the brakes a lot faster than anyone's leg can. It pulsates the brake off and on so fast it sounds like somethings grinding.

      You still can't steer when you hold the brakes even with abs. If you just hold your brakes while you slide you willl go in a straight line and not the way your steering. Just because you have abs doesn't mean you can just push you pedal down, hold it there, and expect to have a controlled stop everytime.

      @@92clintonr That makes no sense whatsoever, ABS (Antilock Braking System) prevents a skid by keeping the wheels from locking up. Why the hell would you pump your brake when that is exactly what the ABS is doing itself in a much faster more efficient way???
      Your quote "Just because you have abs doesn't mean you can just push you pedal down, hold it there, and expect to have a controlled stop" that's exactly what ABS is for, it takes that job away from the driver so they can simply hold the pedal down and focus on maintaining control of the vehicle.

      Where did I say pump your brakes? I said you can't hold them down. I live in Northern Canada working remote jobs farther north than you can imagine. I know how to drive when you're sliding. Your vehicle does not properly steer if you just hold the brakes and never let them go. It's ok though, I don't need to argue with you. I've sat in the passenger seat many times with people who drive with your mentality and watched them crash in an easily avoidable accident simply because they froze and just locked their brakes.

    I remember coming home from work and it was very misty out, or foggy. Also the temperature had dropped to under 34°. It wasn't raining or snowing yet, just very "humid", moisture in the air. Before my ramp there's a dip down and in front of me there were three cars. One fishtailed left, the other right, and the third went into a spin. The dip had ice all over the place. My foot instinctively went to the brake, tapped at but I slid a bit. I took my foot off and held on going straight past my off ramp. I would never had made it. I didn't touch the gas or the brake. Just coasted slowly through the ice and made it through. The other cars were fine, no one was hurt. But that small patch of ice could have caused a massive pile up. Never SLAM on your brakes! There was an instance where 25+ cars crashed as well as semi trucks and yes people died. Be SAFE AND BE CAREFUL!
