I am very tempted
to do this coming out of the road I live on as it's really slippy on the corner. But it'd be a really bad idea as I might smash in to stuff. Sad times :(

Is your car front or rear wheel drive berk?

Front
should make having a cheeky powerslide quite easy, but I'm too sensible to risk doing it. On purpose, at least.

It's a lot easier to control a powerslide with rear-wheel drive as it is the power to the back wheels that allows you to hold it.
Although in this weather....

I was in a 4x4 and all of a sudden I had no grip but just slid round in an arc before finding traction again
it was freaking awesome.

watching the rear-wheel drive cars is entertaining
but for me the prize goes to the elderly couple I encountered at the weekend, braving awful driving conditions in a Reliant Robin

'braving', no
stupidity on a stick, yes.

true
but they were doing a lot better than many by not driving like idiots.

Kudos to them, then
it always baffles me how few people can actually drive competently in the snow.

you can spot the accidents coming
I watched some fool accelerate towards a roundabout this afternoon and I had a good few seconds to just stand and observe him slide to within a few inches of someone else's passenger door.
