I live in AK, ABS is not some magic talisman that will keep you from crashing. Learn to drive. (edit: big +1 for getting proper winter tires anyone can out accelerate, out corner, and out stop any AWD car with run of the mill tires, in a front wheel drive econobox with kick but winter tires)

In fact as far as percentages go I see more cars/trucks in the ditch or causing accidents that have all those nifty save you when it's slippery features. They give a false sense of security so the operators don't really learn to drive.
