The automatic braking system (abs) engages when road surfaces are snowy or slick. When this happens, i cannot stop the vehicle within a reasonable distance. The abs takes over and the car coasts indefinitely. I have never been in an accident in 40 years of driving, and have now had three near misses over the last two winters due to the abs.
