After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

You missed the context (on purpose?), sorry that I didn't make it painfully clear. I only meant that locked wheels are the best strategy for deformable surfaces - which was the clear topic of my post, this whole thread is in response to Runaway and his gravel road.
What I wrote (and you quoted):
> If you just want to stop in a straight line, locking the wheels is the best strategy.
What I should have written:
