One other problem thing: Automatic transmissions. If you have a manual transmission or an automatic that you can drive manually like the old centripetal clutch, you will make out a lot better in snow and ice. Sticking the tranny in “D” and leaving it there is no way to drive on slick surfaces. Slowing down with the engine instead of brakes, and accelerating when the road permits it and not when a computer decides it’s optimal, also help an awful lot.

If you can do better than ABS, traction control, and stability control, you’re good, really good. More power to ya.

But 97% of the driving population can’t.
