Tis true on dry pavement you get two black strips, but on ice you go
sideways and you got yourself a handful (or in the case of a Funny
car with both wheels spinning you see how quick they overcorrect and
end up in the other lane). Traction control would be a better
solution if you're stuck with one driving axle on slick surface (at
least you stay in your lane til you hook up)..
Give me 4WD when it's slick! :-)
