THE BEST thing anyone can experience is getting a job or pastime that involves driving all sorts of slow/odd vehicles that a) Don’t usually belong to them and b) You get to drive off road a lot.

I can slide a 26 tonne Volvo loading shovel coming down off a stockpile
I can do reverse flicks in an Escort van
I can glide a transit van round a stockpile in a quarry
I can handbrake turn through gates & round corners

All thanks to a misspent youth going fishing and working on building sites and quarries.
What I’m trying to say is that to learn car control, first you have to loose control (Well, break traction at least) repeatedly, until you can learn to get it back again.
Sliding cars on roads holds no fear for me anymore, to the point where I don’t bother doing it*, but I can go right up to that point whenever I feel like it…. and know I can get it back again
OK, flame me. 😉
* It’s handy in the snow though.
