Interesting experiment.

Icy road.

Inoulled the hand brake and dragged the rear axle for about a quarter mile, under 5mph.

Throttle doesn't cut with steering wheel angle extreme changes, but after 100ft of only the hand brake warning... it went berserk...

Tpms errors
Air bag errors
Esp/esc/asr errors
Steering wheel errors.

And a lot of fault/workshop messages.

Probably something else in the that Christmas tree dash I missed.

Hilarious.

Live dangerously! I applaud your thirst for knowledge for life outside the box!

Dangerous? I carried a grandma tail whip under 5mph for a quarter mile on a deserted road.

But the air bag error I found was interesting...

I'm guessing it uses the ABS & Yaw sensors to determine which airbags are likely to deploy, soon as the rears were locked, it threw the ABS off and that threw off others.

Padnos won't care. That's where the other 700 cars went. They don't negotiate or ask questions. They use a scale.
