I recall some of the best education in terms of how to drive on icy and snowy roads came in the form of 'stunting' in empty parking lots at night in the winter. These days one is more likely to get busted than in my day, but perhaps a reasonable parking lot for the activity can still be found. What some might call stunting also qualifies as safety training by getting one familiar with the physics of bad traction, momentum, steering into slides and just getting off the gas to re-establish control.

Unfortunately, I have nobody that actually drives a stick these days...I drove many in my day but they are a pain in the ass as you get older....It is like driving a bike, you never forget how to drive a manual..LOL...
