Can you explain what you mean by directional control? I come up with nothing from a Google search

Ahh i remember that winter like it was yesterday. I was a parts driver at the time and I was on the road all day in that shit. Literally 4 days of snow non stop.

Everyone buy salt and dirt! Salt is to melt the ice. Dirt to keep you from getting fucked in the ass on the way out.

Steering.. basically you are changing the pattern of your contact patch to make it hard(er) to slide.

Try the back streets behind Canadian Tire on Grandview.. there are tons of black ice and the street is quiet and wide (I guess the RVs are gone since the lot is shut down for the holidays).. Drive around there with low speeds you can practice using steering to stop.

Once you feel your car is sliding ie absolutely no traction, ease off the gas and brakes, crank the wheel a bit (while still looking forward where you are going). Once you feel you get a bit traction back.. give it a bit of gas.. loosen your grip on the steering wheel so you don't break your appendages when it snaps back.

As I had said a few pages back.. having ABS, TCS, CIA, NSA, POTUS won't help if you don't' practice the scenarios.

Interior mindset on Boxing Day: I'll get the kids bundled up in snow gear, buy a cheap sled, hunt for a nice hill to take the kids while putting my 4x4 to the test...

Reality: Everyone (mostly without winter tires or experience) means my free time has evaporated. It starts raining within an hour. I hate Coastal weather.

Is it bad that I actually want it to snow 5 days straight like in 08?

Wait a second, if I have POTUS with me then chances are I won't need to drive

is that safe/does it work when your vehicle is sliding at 30kph+?
sounds like it requires lots of honing at realistic speeds...otherwise 9/10 drivers trying that would probably end up in a tailspin and make things worse?

Realistically, all you need to do is go at a fast enough speed to hit the negative acceleration point where traction breaks. Technically. Most of the time, I think 30 kmh depends on what tires you've got.

I think the value in it is knowing what will happen in the situation so you'll know the vehicle's limits, what to do, and how to react.
