On that hill though you still wouldn't stand a chance. that car in the middle which is moving directly sideways pretty much illustrates that. In my opinion they should make driving on snow/ice part of the driving test. It's pretty easy to replicate using those little fly wheel contraptions they have and it's something everyone really ought to know how to handle.

I agree. When I got my licence on Long Island we used to go to empty parking lots and do doughnuts and stuff like that. May sound like stupid kids but it made us much better at handling a car in the snow and ice. I know parents that took their kids to parking lots for this very reason.

In theory if you spin the tires fast enough you'll melt the ice and get to pavement
