Re: questions--traction control

Ed,

I suspect what caused Rich to go around was getting off the throttle 
abruptly. I have had my car get side ways twice on the road under slick 
conditions. It was out of control going side ways, back and forth, by 
applying a little throttle I saved it in both cases. Coming off the 
throttle quickly is very like applying brakes to the wheels. I have 
found, nearly all cases, if the car is nearing out of control 
conditions, lifting slightly will straighten the car out.
