it never fails

Well I grew up and learned to drive in the northeast where it's winter most of the time and fish tailing left, right and sideways is just a walk in the park. (now having said that, I've also either had a 4 wheel or AWD vehicle for the last 30+ years or so!
Even up here, when winter first takes hold it seems many folks get caught sleeping and think they can get away with too much speed on the icy road.

Still, I can appreciate how folks in the south that have never driven in the stuff just aren't sure what to do when the rear of the car tries to go by the front. Drivin proper when there's little traction can be an art that many haven't mastered.

And on the subject, how 'bout them AMAZING ABS brakes! The whole notion of not having to pump the brakes AND being able to steer in a panic stop is still a wonderment and delight to me!
