However, when the conditions are good, rear wheel drive cars are much better dynamically! Andy, I completely agree with the rear wheel drive thing in snow.

Torque steer is when the power going to the front wheels overwhelms them, and the car steers (through torque) left or right. Re tips, I think the greatest thing I can recommend is to make sure you do everything slower than you'd normally. Otherwise, try to avoid journeys completely if you can. Unless you have a 4x4 there's really no way to be completely sure you'll get home at night in the current weather we're facing. Hi Julie – first things first.

I have an Astra estate [2007] & it hasn't been good to drve in the icy conditions occurring of late - wheels spin on the slightest of inclines and skidding with the lightest of braking. I've driven very carefully and kept to low gear going downhill & as high as poss [usually 2nd] going uphill when conditions are slippy. Any tips? Please explain – what is torque steer?
