You don't need to be going anywhere near the speed limit to lose control in whiteout conditions.

I've been driving for 8 years now and I havent been in an accident. I'm driving a car without ABS. Just this last Thanksgiving, I was doing 15-20 mph on some back roads in a 40mph zone, during the first storm of the year (driving in to work). On a curve, I lost steering and my only recourse was to try and tap the brakes to slow down. Im sure with ABS I would have stopped in time, but without it I slid straight off the road and into a sign, causing about a grand worth of damage to the car. Granted, the car was terrible in the snow, but I was really wishing I had ABS right then.
