Almost unbelieveable The ground was flat, thought he was towing at first

Known as "Green Ice"

I think this illustrates the only real problem with electronic traction control versus manual diff-locks; if all four wheels lose traction and spin at roughly the same rate, the ECU doesn't know that the car has lost grip. ETC only works when 1,2 or 3 wheels have lost traction.

Poor old though, bet he wished he had full privacy glass! Rules are made for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

A quick tap on the brakes can get the T/C to kick in.

The same thing happened to me when I'd had my FFR about 2 days, just got bogged down in really claggy mud on road tyres, had to call my dad out in his FF to pull me out! Discovery 4 HSE
