How does snow and ice affect driving conditions?
Snow and ice covering the road surface cause a reduction in friction between the car tyres and the ground (as you know walking on ice is slippery). This means that the wheels lose traction to propel, stop and steer the car. To overcome this, in countries where the roads ice over in winter, the law requires drivers to change all tyres to "winter" types which have metal studs in them. The metal studs allow the wheels to grip and make it safe to drive.

Can the car lotus elise drive in the snow?
Yes. I own a 2006 and drive it daily including snowy days. With the right tires it can handle 2 or 3 inches of snow. Drive slow and steady and you are OK. Contrary to intuition, this car brakes better than heavier cars. The problem is with snow tailgaters hitting you. Choppy ice/snow road conditions warrant driving slowly unless you like to rearrange your internal organs. As with all cars and trucks, 4 wheel drive is best in the snow.
