Before you call me a jackass, I must state: No, I won't be trying this on a public road.
I'm new to driving in the snow, using a RWD car that lost it's TCS and ABS. The one time I took my car through heavy snow(built-up) I went at a decent pace, but could still feel the rear slipping here and there. I had to do 3 minor recoveries that day. I know about how braking, turning, and throttling too much will make the rear fly, so this question is for the rare case of hitting something on the road or having a wheel go over ice, resulting in the car going well beyond the usual recovery angle.
If there is no traffic, I should definitely just use the brakes and let the car slide sideways 'til it stops, I know. If there's traffic following behind, doing so may cause a pileup, thus, I imagine it would be safer to voluntarily make the rear slide a bit more, and doing a 360°. Out of the question if there's traffic ahead, obviously.
The question: How would I go about throttling and steering?
