I love how the one car smoothly weaves between the pile ups because he has the sense to NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE.
Back in the day, before ABS, folks actually had skills, like the ability to feel the car and hold at the threshold of traction and if you lost traction, you'd gently pulse the brakes. Now we're surrounded in boxes that are supposed to take care of us and our skills went out the window. How many people are actually aware that the cars they are driving with ABS actually take longer to stop than those without ABS? I'm not saying that ABS isn't a great invention that has probably saved hundreds if not thousands of lives over the last two decades, but it has made us a bit numb to skills that were previously standard equipment to every teenage driver in a northern climate.
