What is some of your Pet Peeve's

With ABS on snow it's benificial to run in 4WD. In an extreme stopping situation you can use your parking brake to transfer the stopping power from the tire with the least traction so that all 4 are working.

Just make sure that, if you have an electronic parking brake (almost all newer vehicles) that you know how to make it work when you're moving.

Or just run into whatever is in front of you... which seems to be the logic of driving in snow with ABS.

My first company truck was a 2004 F150.
Personal truck was a 1998 Sierra with the ABS disabled. One day I did a trial; 45 mph on an unplowed road with each truck, I then checked stopping distance. I drove my truck the way that I normally do; with the F150 I stomped on the brakes as hard as I could.
Stopping distance for the Ford was 50% farther.

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa.

And it was ME!!!!!

If I take the time to write something, I expect the entire internet to commit it to permanent memory; otherwise, what am I even doing here????

That's obvious. You're here to memorize all of my posts and eulogize me, of course!!!
