No, you drift to a halt in a controlled manner.

And you seriously believe that all the drivers
on the roads can do that 100% reliably?

Fortunately all the car manufacturers know better and
aren't that stupid when they can flash a warning instead.

It's pretty easy. Anyone can do it.

You can say the same thing about driving a car too.

Plenty manage to **** that up at times too.

Specially with something like that you don't do very often at all.

What exactly is difficult about continuing what you were doing with a little less speed?

A blown tyre I could possibly agree with you, but not lack of power.

Try it. Your car has momentum, it continues for some time.

And can get rammed up the arse by some hoon kid like you behind them.

If your engine seized and you stopped almost instantly maybe.
I'm talking about losing power, not locking the wheels.

Plenty have got rammed up the arse by some hoon kid like you
in those circumstances too, essentially because the brake lights
don't come on and the stupid hoon kid just rams you up the arse.

Absolute bull****. Otherwise that would be happening all the time whenever someone took their foot off the gas.

It turns out a Chinese food deliveryman who was thought to be missing, was actually stuck in a Manhattan apartment building elevator for 4 days.
The man is ok, but the building's owner is charging him $1,500 rent.
