| Here in OZ you need to go looking for snow (up in the mountains in winter for skiing) so the vast majority of drivers just never get to exprience driving in those conditions. Having said that, some of our highways get "black ice" and that catches out a heap of unwary drivers.
I experienced snow driving a couple of times when I have been on vacation in the US and I can tell you I drove very carefully. On one trip heading north out of Phoenix towards the Grand Canyon there was heaps of snow fallen and still falling. I slotted in behind a Semi and ran in the truck's wheel tracks with plenty of distance to spare. I was amazed when I was passed by a Jeep going at high speed and thought, oh well a 4 x 4, they can do that. About 15 minutes later I passed the Jeep who was stuck in "no mans land" in the middle of the divided highway facing the wrong way. Interestingly no one was stopping to help him.
