I almost rear ended someone last winter because of those damn things. I was driving my Civic without ABS. The light turned yellow and the guy in front of me slammed on his brakes.

But he stopped and I couldn't, my tires locked up and if I didn't understand the concept of ebraking and power sliding I would have hit him dead on at 40mph.
??Sounds to me like you almost rear-ended the other car because you were following too closely.
Agreed, you must really not know how to drive in winter weather (or year round!) ... also, ever hear of pumping the brakes?
I stop on yellows 95% of the time, regardless of who is behind me (excepting only semis or huge passenger vehicles). If you hit me, you were going too fast for your vehicle's capabilities to begin with.
