Also if you lose brake assist. I've read a handful of "out of control car" stories where the driver reported the brakes didn't work. Well yes, without power brakes it feels like stepping on a piece of wood. You need to apply a LOT of force to stop a modern car without power brakes, "putting both feet on the pedal and pushing with everything you've got" a lot. Bending the brake pedal is better than crossing into oncoming traffic.
- pixl97 3y agoTalking about "brakes didn't work" it always terrifies me when I see people just flying in heavy rain. I've done intentional hydroplanes in closed areas and even when you know it's coming it can be hard to resist the urge to panic.
