Do cars have ABS braking down there? Pump your brakes instead of solid breaking. Know too my friends who are not used to these conditions that there is a difference between getting out of a skid depending on whether the vehicle is front or rear wheel drive. If your vehicle is front accelerate out of a skid. Also, if your vehicle is a manual (standard) transmission be sure to gear down then brake. This keeps the wheels engaged on the ice and is thus far safer and easier to drive on snow and ice than an automatic. Remember too that 'all wheel drive' is not 'four wheel drive'.

Stay safe!
