When at university in Dundee in 1965 I experimented with driving on snow/ice. The Law Department car park was covered with snow that had turned to slush then frozen and finally was rained on. Because the surface was very uneven it was impossible to walk on.
I discovered that I could bring my 1930 fabric saloon to a standstill by applying the hand brake to lock the front wheels then putting on full lock, releasing the handbrake and at the same time pressing the footbrake. The car stopped going forwards and started to spin round and round. The faster I went at it the more turns it would make.
Great fun
