Hi Tegger,

Usually when I am getting off the freeway and slowing down on the exit
ramp, 
I only use the brakes. Sometimes if it seems like I have to stop alot 
faster, I will brake and also put the car in D3. Wouldnt this be safe
since 
I am using the brakes also? Plus I guess you know that the 2008 Accord has

traction control, EBD, VSA and Brake Assist. I guess that can help in a 
slippery situation too.
