At the risk of sounding like an old fart, and while appreciating the air of pseudo-responsibility of these posts, I hope I never encounter any of you on the road.
I've had plenty of fun in my Tacomas without ever placing myself, passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, snowmobilers, pets, or any other personal property at risk. If I ever see someone slide off the road while/after driving like this, I will likely continue past, leaving them to deal with digging themselves out.
I hope this is a small percentage of yotatech members that condone this kind of behavior. For those that do - please exercise every bit of responsibility, and take every precaution necessary to ensure that you are the sole individual at risk for injury. These situations open the doors for lawsuits wide open, and you will likely find few that would be sympathetic to your cause should something go wrong.

I partake in some winter sliding whenever I can, which is fairly often here in SLC, but I don't feel I've ever been putting myself, any passengers, anyone, or anything around me at risk. Just yesterday the car in front of me stopped at a redlight rammed the SUV in front of it without warning. Any time you're on the road you're at risk, but it's my opinion that people having fun in reduced traction conditions pose much less of a threat than the rest of the people on the road.

"Hopefully I can say this without opening a rather off-topic debate, but wouldn't you feel more comfortable driving near people who are familiar with the sliding characteristics of their vehicles?"
I don't want to steal this thread from dairyjato so I'll leave it at that.
