    Just stumbled upon your page. Great video! Your example is an excellent illustration of the non-intuitive. If asked, I bet 80% of experienced drivers would say they would prefer the rear tires to skid first. And if you asked the other 20% why they would want the front tires to lose grip first, they wouldn’t be able to explain their choice.

    The rear wheels cant lock up on a manual transmission car without stalling the engine unless the clutch is depressed or the transmission is in neutral. Hard braking at high speed such as on a race track entering a braking zone, its nearly impossible to lock up the rear tires. Dialing brake bias towards the rear tires will help prevent front lockup, but will not stall the engine or lock up the rear tires (unless the clutch is depressed simultaneously)
