If I do that in my Volt and apply the accelerator, the electric motor slows down the vehicle until it comes to a stop and immediately starts to move it forward, like switching the direction of a cieling fan while it's running. I can also do it the other way around. No harm is done.

If I ever mod my car I'm going to do an ABS delete to make room. It's pointless with good habits

Only bad driver I know. Our idea of an intervention was to get in his car wearing motorcycle helmets
