For those that mentioned "I will never take take off the traction control" or "I think I will get AWD" etc. you are not going to prevent this type of accidents by the type of car you drive or just leaving the traction control on. You cannot defy physics and at higher speeds even AWD and traction control will not save a person from stupidity.

I have driven through a few heavy snow storms/icy roads with my only car that had no traction control, open diff and RWD. The only cars that crashed during my trips home were the big Mercedes with their uber traction controls and 4x4s. Learn how to drive your car and don't be stupid and you will be fine.
