We do. And you can call any time if you start to feel cut off or trapped.

This is now in my fridge. I saw it last night and told Bruce that I need it.

But if you don't drive, you'll never build up the confidence to be comfortable driving.

True...true....I'm starting to not tense so much when I'm driving at night now. Hihi....Another obstacle, driving when it's snowing. I see snow coming down looking out the window at the moment. Everything about driving makes me nervous, and I feel this in Houston too.

You have reason to be nervous about driving in snow when you've never done it. The majority of drivers around here have grown up with it and driven in it every winter since the got a license... and still can't fucking do it right.

Low rpm, smooth direction changes, tires rolling, momentum is king. Inertia even.

Pretend you are driving on top of a frozen lake and aren't sure how thick the ice is.
And, as Bruce points out, if Darwin studied people who drive in snow instead of animals and mother nature, he would have stopped writing after the first paragraph.

Find a large parking lot or field with nothing to hit then drive fast and hit the brakes to practice sliding and spinning intentionally, keep going intil you get the feel of it and then practice regaining control and pulling through spins etc. It is a lot of fun and the only safe chance you'll have to practice the skills you need.
One fun thing is to get going pretty fast and then pull up on the e-brake while cocking the wheel! Wheee!

foot's advice is worthy. If you have an opportunity, and the available empty paved area, nothing beats practice.
