    Locking up your brakes while driving in any foul weather conditions is by
far a lame idea. What you need is control while decellerating, preferably using
an anti-lock braking system. Lacking that, try experimenting with the parking
brake &/or feathering the clutch in a downshift in a large parking lot. But as
always, accidents still just happen & so it goes.
