On a straight decent road I applied a brake. Suddenly my tire is locked w/ no steering. The road was partly covered by slushy snow and wet. Since the car is equipped with ABS, I did not try to pump. As the result my car hit a snow bank and rolled over. The user's manual does not indicate ABS may not work.
