TIP No. 2

When it has been snowing, and you have to come to a stop, if you are in a vehcile with an automatic transmission, pu it in neutral, so all the wheel brakes catch evenly, and lightly. If the vehicle is in drive, the back wheel keep turning while under light braking conditions, while the front wheels start to slide if enough force is applied to the brakes to stop the back wheels from turning/spinning.

Same for a Pantera. In the rain or snow, put the clutch in and stop the drive force from the rear wheel, so the brakes can 'catch' evenly, and have maximum stopping force.

In a 4x4, either use 4x4 or put in neutral or push the clutch in in these stopping situations.

Same theory under emergency braking situations 'in dry' conditions.
