So you don't don't see how snow building up in front of your tires can stop your car? Seriously? it works likes this, when your is stopping without the ABS on, it's pushing the snow in front of the locked tire, gathering more, because the tire is locked and not moving, and running over it, thus creating a type of snowball effect, and pushing more and more snow in front of it causing if you will a snow back up, or a wall of snow that your tire is effectively digging into, to cause it to stop faster than the ABS which just grabs, lets go, grabs lets go, grabs, lets go, thus stopping you faster in a dead stop situation.

I really don't know why it's such a hard concept for everyone to grasp. Maybe because it's never been suggested here before, and i can very well understand that, but us Subaru guys have been doing it for years! Although our ABS system doesn't work like you guys, taking out our fuse, only disables the ABS and nothing else. With these cars i can understand some of the other repercussions of doing it, but the theory of why it works is universally the same. I guess i just don't grasp how some of you can't understand it that's all. Not saying it's right or wrong either way, just saying, keep it in mind in the deep and packed snow that it does stop you faster, and it is snowing outside right now, when we get enough snow, im going to take video and show you all how it works.

i completely understand what you are saying here, i just dont agree. and most roads are plowed and have less than an inch on the ground, simply put if the wheels are not turning you have NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL.

why dont you talk this over with a driving instructor, im sure he wont agree either./end


and how old are you? you sound like you have little driving experience. when you rear end a car do let us all know how much damage you do to both cars.
