.....Serious question:

Why would taxiing a 'Jet' on a taxiway.....contaminated or not.....be any more of a risk than a non jet aircraft of a similar weight and size?
Slower engine thrust response (spool up/spool down) than piston-props. It can take a deft hand, patience and experience to realize that you may have to throttle up, and then throttle back again before the aircraft even begins to move, (since the thrust will lag the throttle lever setting by several seconds) to avoid getting too fast for the braking/steering conditions.
