No? Why not ...?

This is an invaluable time to sharpen basic car control skills.
Or even re-learn. Concert pianists need to practice (many hours) in order to be on top of their performance.
Any unused major car park area will do.
Snow like this is a brilliant oportunity.
Next time you 'lose' car control, you maybe trying to save someones life ...
careful where you chose to practice though.

And for any racers out there, a figure of eight, against the clock, will sharpen you no end.

Invaluable.

The only practice Ive done is hold the handbrake and slip the front wheels on full right lock to get out of a tight parking space. Kind of like a handrake turn into a space but the other way around. I was a bit nervous it wouldnt work and I'd nudge the car infront but it was fine

We had an inch of snow and then the council dropped a year's worth of salt onto it.
