In Finland you cant get a licence until you‘ve successfully done 6 hrs on the skidpan
Here if you slide they call you a hoon and take your car away
Our kids are not taught basic skills, among which is skid a) anticipation/prevention and b) correction

Most Euro countries have a skid pan (of sorts) part to the test and it is timed too. You can do everything very well but if you don't finish in the time allowed you fail. What surprised me was the instructor exam was the same but the time allowed was halved. That really is gymkhana. Very nice to watch.
Oh, and the skid pan is outdoors. Rain, snow, sunshine, doesn't matter. Same rules apply.
