Drivers who live in a wintery clime, seldom take the opportunity to take their primary auto out to an desolated road, empty parking lot, with icy or snow driving conditions; when you max out the capabilities of your auto, tires, self...and practice it; there’s a good chance you’d avoid the out of control actions from the video.

It’s not unlike owning a firearm, you have to practice with it, under different conditions to improve.

A Skip Barber defensive driving course helps too. :)

LOL. I went to the racing school. Does that count? ;-)

That is spot-on great advice!

On my first day of driver’s education we had two feet of snow, lots of slush on the roads. The previous day was a school snow day. I asked the driving instructor if it was a good idea to go out and his response was, “There’s not a better way to learn how to drive that to drive in the worst conditions!”
