Well, I agree with that. But when you know what the car will do and how it will react to some things then its not as bad. I've had cars get into trouble (yes I will admit some of them were stupid on my part) but because I knew what to do the panic didn't set in. Naturally this is not the same for everyone. I've had a bronco almost spin out on me in blizzard conditions, (4X4 was discovered not to be working), a sable hydroplane in heavy rain and a river running across the road, and most recently, an MR2 step sideways on me when I hit a damp patch of road coming out of a corner on an otherwise dry country road. All three times I knew depending on the car, what I had to do to get out of it.
