A few years ago I was driving too close for the road conditions, and the car in front of me braked. I swerved to the left rapidly, and then to the right since I had over-compensated. The result was that I lost control and started fishtailing. It was terrifying. My car did a 180, and I was on the highway facing traffic. Luckily, I did not get into an accident.
From what I understand, Electronic Stability Control is a feature that would have prevented this.
However, in the clip above, I'm sure most of these SUVs have ESC in addition to Traction Control, 4WD, ABS, and snow tires. Even with all that tech, it seems it's not use. You are at the mercy of mother nature.
