Hi Tegger,

Usually when I am getting off the freeway and slowing down on the exit ramp,
I only use the brakes. Sometimes if it seems like I have to stop alot
faster, I will brake and also put the car in D3. Wouldnt this be safe since
I am using the brakes also? Plus I guess you know that the 2008 Accord has
traction control, EBD, VSA and Brake Assist. I guess that can help in a
slippery situation too.
