ive been watching a program about controlling a slide on ice,im sure the guy said dip the clutch,and obviously steer into the slide,definitely no breaking.but its the clutch dipping im not sure about,especially on a 4x4.i know you off road experts will know,my experiences are just in the field,pulling out stuck quads and tractors,not 4 wheel drifting /slides |

In inclement weather I drive as if the vehicle is NOT going to assist me as the driver.

A couple of years ago in outback NSW the road dirt road was so slippery that the car slid down the road's camber from standing still. There was nothing one could do until the car hit the scrub so the tyres could get some grip.

Yesterday I happened to join in with other cars as we slid and pirouetted around a big roundabout, no-one noticed the rainbow colouring on the wet cold road surface, it was bedlam with vehicles nudging each other and facing the wrong way, the FL2 was no exception in losing its line.
