Is it ok to drive S on the snow.?
#32
what ever control i give up by locking up the brakes i can get back by pumping the brake pedal and manually duplicating ABS.
if the car cannot over come whatever pile of snow built up during lockup, that car has no buisness being on the road for those conditions.
theory is one thing, driving in chicago is another.
especially when the city has no money left to plow and salt the roads.

Seems to be being smart and trying to stay safe are still the main issue.
pay attention watch traffic and expect the people around you to make mistakes and plan for them.
my driving motto and i stick to it

I've driven many hard winters here without ABS and I find it to be handy *at times*. Most of the time I brake just fine without setting it off.

I drove mine last winter in Mpls, MN. I used Blizzaks (WS-60). I had some issues in stop in go traffic when pointed uphill. I had to be very light on the gas and feather the cluch or else the ass would try to sidestep. Other than that, it drove like a charm. It's also great fun in empty parking lots. I still have my WS-60s. They're in good shape. There are probably 2k miles on them, tops. PM if interested.
