Hate driving in snow, but a lot of this is-as someone on here pointed out to me-simply confidence and you cant get that until youve had a bit of experience and got to know what your car will/wont do. After a couple of weeks I feel a lot better about it, weight in the boot , use the "snowflake" and, most importantly, take it steady especially on corners/roundabouts , and give everyone else a wide berth! I too have watched people in FWD revving madly and getting nowhere. Whilst its true that FWD should be easier than RWD in these conditions its also probably true that rectifying a slide on a RWD is easier than doing it on FWD as your natural inclination is to ease off the gas. Still, I'll be glad when its all over and I can put my foot down again without fear
