Re: What do you think about traction control, ABS, etc...

I just don't get into that many situations where traction control comes into play I guess.
Like every man alive....I'm pretty sure I'm a good driver....lol.
The window on driving skill tho'...might be shifting...and definitely not expanding. Its all you can do now (in North America) to get a standard/manual transmission...even in a sports car.
These are much harder to control with technology than automatic based cars.
One bad thing about the new technology is that is has given a lot of 'average drivers' over confidence in their vehicles and their speed.
In snowy, icy conditions you see people running full highway speed in 4wd/suv's....with 'all season' tires.....lol.....I'm serious here and I just can't believe this.
Somehow, somewhere these people believe that 4wd/Awd is going to perhaps stop them faster?....or save them or?
You would think given the amazing technology that insurance rates would be very low because no one had accidents any more...lol, although that doesn't seem to be the case.
