It may well be the parents first significant snow fall let alone the

I remember people saying much the same thing forty years ago. Snow and ice
was a lot more common then, but the vast majority of drivers hadn't a clue
how to drive in slippery conditions. We agreed that the driving
instruction - and probably the test - should include experience on a skid
pan.
