If you've little to no experience driving on ice, you almost certainly don't understand how quickly you can go from "controlled motion" to "sliding inertial one ton missile" with zero prospect of regaining control until you've stopped moving.

People up here drive on ice all the time, and yet, when we get a good round of freezing rain... people still fuck it up. I'd imagine that drivers in Texas would be hearing Sobchak telling them "shut the fuck up Texas, you're out of your element here!" around the time the car went into the four wheel drift.
