I Still Brake For Disaster

I learned two things from my ex-husband that I like to give him credit for: I can cut up a whole chicken, and I can drive in snow and ice. He's from a dry, cold area where snow is commonplace, so I believed him when he told me how to do this. He said that when you start to go into a slide or a spin, take your hands off the wheel and your foot off the controls. The car will stop by itself. It was hard to accept, but I did know for sure that trying to steer didn't work, and applying the brakes seemed to aggravate the situation. The first few times I tried it (I had plenty of room for spinning), the system worked. A car will automatically correct itself with no human intelligence to guide it.
