I just don't get it.

Well, I do - clueless drivers and all. But anyone with half a brain should be following the same order of operations on a day when questionable traction exists:

1) Start Car
2) Drive Car to closest street when plenty of stopping room
3) Press brakes progressively harder until the tires lock up, to determine approximate braking force required to "have a bad time"
4) ????
5) Profit
