It wouldn't happen at random, just a low speed but sharp turnin, like
over a driveway entrance where gravel accumulates on the side of the
road, will induce the ABS/stability control to operate when a tire
slips on gravel.

People, this is your ABS at work. ABS is not meant to be quiet or comforting. It is a reaction by the car to what it deems is a sudden emergency by your sudden braking. Everyone should have the experience of slamming on the brakes with a car with no ABS, and then a car with it and feel/hear/see the difference. No offense, but it's scary when drivers don't even know their own equipment. Just my pilot nature I guess - gotta know your aircraft inside and out. Same should be for cars - people should have a general knowledge of vehicles - it should be on the driving test. No biggie, now you know what ABS feels/sounds like.
