It's true, but lets not tell people to try it....... Aquaplaning into an Oak tree is more braking effect than i'd care to experience

Aye, better to do it at slow speeds, with a firm grip on the wheel
You still feel the car pulling due to the extra drag on one side, but you're less likely to have a problem

It's odd this came up, as I was sat in the our car the other day when it was really cold, waiting for someone to come out of the doctors, and with the engine idling I could hear/feel a difference in how it ran as I turned on the rear window demister and the lights, not much but a change in how the car was idling (once I noticed that I tried various combinations of lights, demister and cigarette lighter).
