We've watched rear wheel drive cars trying to slow down on packed/slick snow rolling with the front wheels locked and the rear wheels driving the car along. A lot of people don't realize that they would have better luck stopping or slowing down if they put the car in neutral rather than Drive going down slick hills.
Yup...ain't that the truth. Just being in drive, at idle, foot off the gas, gives a big push on ice, even on flat ground. Downhill, or towing on ice, putting in neutral, can save your a$$. Saved mine, many a time!
