It can be deadly when you forgo your speed based defense dice. The skidding consequences of losing control pale in comparison to this one.

I am unaware; can you get defense dice to roll from other factors than speed? (I just checked a picture where the steel plate component will give you one extra defense die.)

I can't wait until they implement active protection systems where you get to roll red defense dice! ;-)

You got it right. No dice for speed when you lose control. The steel plate does work still when you're out of control. Obviously you can't use your ace tokens to reroll dice you don't have, but strangely enough you can reroll the steel plate die using ace tokens when out of control.
