Re: How can we drive on this new floor?

I live in the land of ice and snow, and tips for driving in these conditions are relatively self-explanatory, governed by this rule:

If you lose static friction, you lose control.

Driving a *car* in such conditions means that you:
A. Go easy on the accelerator to avoid slipping.
B. Go easy on the brake, for the same reason.
C. Turn gradually, slowing down much more than you normally would.
D. If you start to skid, turn into the direction of the skid to allow your wheels a chance to catch again.

Now, how this applies to different drive train configurations in Lunacy is another matter!
