I don't think driving in snow in the UK takes much skill, but I did have a few lessons in the snow (Which I would thoroughly reckomend). Driving
on snow is alot easier than ice as when the wheels spin on snow you stop, when they spin on ice you keep moving.

I fit studded snows every year, I'm in pretty much the southern-most part of Canada, we don't actually get much in the way of snow but the
black ice is treacherous every morning and evening.

Fitting them only to the front is probably putting you in a worse situation than not fitting them at all, unless you enjoy your cars swapping ends
under braking...

Hi Morcus
I've driven on studs on sheet ice in Norway and the traction is fine however in the UK I don't think we encounter these conditions often
enough to justify - however IMO mud and snows for the NE of Scotland is a no brainer, (60 miles a day, leaving home at 0530, (before the ploughs)).
