granted its extra stuff, but if you know you have togo out into the snow (un)willingly, just be prepared to get your ass out of a tough, just annoying, spot.
going with 5, don't put all your faith into a traction control system. there are ways to help the system as well. front-wheel drive cars can "rock" the differential to get it to move again. think of it as a slower left-right shimmy on the steering wheel. this can transfer the load from the slipping wheel to the gripping wheel.
7. controlled sliding can aide in your turn, but you still adhere to the same physics as the rest of the world. lower maximum-friction yields harder-to-control slides in fact, it should slow down the car to almost-safe turning speeds. but you are more likely to overshoot or "unda unda unda!" in such conditions...and hitting immoveable objects is bad...very bad.
