i agree! when my son was going to learn to drive, for family unity, i sent him to defensive driving school. you supply the car for this course. he took our brand-new Honda Element with ABS, stability trac, anti skid and who know what. we were more interested in the stereo system anyway, they were teaching them how to handle a skid. send them down a wet section, slam on the brakes and you skid and learn how to deal with it. watch 3 kids go down and skid. my kid, goes down, slams on the brakes and stops. the instructor and him sit, wondering what happened. tried again. same response. i cracked up at that point, because i figured it out, the car was smarter than the road.
