Realize that you may encounter a dangerous or life threatening situation you can do nothing about, the chances of this increased because of the ice and snow. You can hope you don't hit a slick spot of ice on a decline-avoid declines, inclines. Also, drive slow, brake slow, and if you go into a skid turn the steering wheel as slowly as possible in the opposite direction of the skid . ..(this is not complete information but just some tips)

If it looks dodgy, don't go there.Check that your tyres have good tread, you have blanket in the back - not just to keep warm but can be used under the wheels if you get really stuck. ...and some means of calling for help eg mobile phone. Live by a hill or have a steep drive to your house- that way if it gets iced up you can phone in and claim you can't get out. Wait til the buses open up the roads.Lastly, remember you won't see black ice - it forms overnight in thin sheets on bends and lies in wait for you next morning.

depends what you driving babe. if it rear wheel drive it hard work but if you driving front wheel drive it easy. If it a front just leave it in first gear and dont rev, just enough for it to go forwards and it will pass a 4 wheel drive. been there done it got the t shirt etc.. 4 wheel drivers look at you gob smacked when you pass them and you still going. If you got rear wheel drive reverse and it pulls instead of pushing
