Ok, well forgive me if this kind of thing was already done here before but here Goes nothing. I saw a comment chain on Facebook about it.

"When you hit the ice, pump the brakes so you don't slide!"

Try to top the previous post.

In truth, "When you hit the ice, pump the brakes so you don't slide!" used to be very good advice, and it still can be. Technology advances (ABS) have made it bad advice for anyone in a car with ABS (for Europeans, that's any car newer than a 2007, for Americans, it depends on the car.)

[up] [up] true, but this was told to me by someone driving a newer vehicle with anti-lock brakes in which pumping the brakes would be quite dangerous. sad

I believe that something they even took out/changed of the new drivers ed books...
