I concede that you're a better driver than I am because I don't think I could reliably control the car on snow even in ideal conditions, but how did you drive for years without needing to do anything sudden?

I have this strategy where I put myself in the drivers seat of every vehicle around me, and think to myself "what is the stupidest thing I could do right now" and then I know exactly what they'll do and have an escape plan ready.

And I'm not even being terribly sarcastic about that, it works way too well.

But seriously, have an escape route ready all the time. Riding a motorbike helps you think about how everyone else is trying to kill you at all times.
