I do agree. I'm one of the people who learned in the period you describe and will admit that what I've learned about driving in snow I learned the hard way. That first realisation that rather than the highly responsive machine that goes where you point it you're used to, you're in a large, unwieldy lump of metal whose major motive force is inertia can be a bit of an eye-opener.

What if you're having it orf in the car? Which wheels drive it will make no difference, surely?

Anyway, you need to get over this idea of cars being fun. They're not meant to be fun. Indeed, the logical endpoint of their development is that they do all the work and are no 'fun' whatsoever.
