It snowed for the first time this year where I live, so naturally I went driving this morning. Mostly, I just wanted to get a better feel for snow driving and how to recover from slides.
So let's say you are driving along in an AWD car and make the mistake of applying too much power and induce some wheel spin. One thing leads to the other (car starts to slide, opposite lock, now car starts to slide the other way, opposite lock, etc.), and the car is sliding sideways (or almost sideways, at maybe a 70 degree angle). You are at max opposite steering angle but the slide is getting worse. I have always heard "when in doubt, power out" and things like that. However, it seems that power doesn't really help in that situation. What's the best way to regain control in that situation.
Also, please don't respond unless you have actually tried it. A week ago I would have just been a douche and said "POWER OUT BRUH" because I am an idiot.

>letting an AWD vehicle get out of shape that much You're hopeless.
Also, the way to save a car at that point doesn't work that well with AWD, so you're doubly fucked.

You don't want to slide. If you are sliding sideways you're doing things wrong. You were going too fast.
As for the "power out", if things are slick, and you turn your wheels, it is possible the car will keep going straight. like you never turned the steering wheel. if you just tap the gas the tires steering will kick in.
It is also wise to approach a stop sign at slower speeds.

Oh, right. That makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left. Yes, thank you! Or should I say No, thank you, because in Opposite World, maybe that really means thank you.

Heres an idea >find a big empty lot >figure you shit out
Every AWD drive car doesn't handle the same, some are symmetrical, different torque vectoring, different front/rear power splits. Figure out what works for you.
