What the OP was beginning with is, to my reading, the "cagers" in their cars being out of control
when a layer of water is frozen at 0C or below..
I have had episodes where the 1st rain of the year floats the leaked oil accumulated during the dry season
making cars more prone to hydroplaning, and even later , when they just mis judge their speed and braking distance.
Ive been at a Zebra Crossing , had One driver stopped in one lane, get rear ended, by the next guy.
the crossing is just after the roundabout, surprised they managed to not spin out rounding that.
But yea when the Ice , water's solid state, is on the ground , It's Studded tires FTW!
Me and the NASCAR wannabes.
