CAR HANDLING TIPS ON ICE
Do not normally accelerate on curves. Hold it steady or very lightly let up on the gas. Go slow with flasher lights on in trouble spots.
Do not down shift, which will cause a spin out in automatics and manual transmissions.
Deliberately drifting can work on ice to your advantage. Stepping on the gas will make the rear end come around to the right which can help you avoid obstacles straight ahead. This is an unintuitive procedure so practice might help. The more gas the quicker the centrifigal spin so there is an element of control.
Braking hard is discouaged due to loss of traction and skid. The best maneuver is to stay home.

All wheel drive and four wheel drive do help but only to a very limited degree.
