Canada is even worse. We have winter driving for 3+ months out of the year yet no winter driving tests are mandatory. Fucking ridiculous. So many people don't realize that slamming on your brakes when you are about to lose control on an ice covered road is the WORST thing to do.
So, no requirement for ABS in Canada? (eh?) But I agree in principle w/ your sentiment, seeing as Boston-area drivers seem to believe that 4-wheel drive means your braking system has a 1.5 g-factor even in slush and ice. And from what we see regularly on the news, Florida and LA drivers believe it's safer to speed up during a torrential downpour.
