This is good enough for me...don't know how that would fly in court, but i lost control once in my mom's Ford Explorer Sport...same thing, short wheel base, 4.0L RWD, and slippery roads...i wasn't passing though, i was just going around a mellow bend...i sort of kept it on the road but basically drifted the bend, but i was 75% over the yellow line, if there was an on-coming vehicle, i'd probably not be here saying this..
