I'm moving to Wisconsin from Alabama in October and I've never driven on ice before. I need helpful tips for driving on the ice.

never speed, if your rear end slides turn the wheel toward the slid. don't think that since your in a SUV you are invincible

Slow down and maintain a larger space between you and the car in front of you. Make sure not to slam the brakes, as ABS systems don't work too well on snow/ice. Pay more attention to what is ahead of you, so you can start slowing down or changing lanes before it becomes and emergency. Stay in the right lane more than you normally would - slower traffic there and usually no one has an issue if you back off. Practice in parking lots, residential streets for a while...

If it's snowing, stay out of snow-pack, or the stuff that is compressed, it will act just like ice a lot of times. If you drive slowly on the unpacked snow, you will have better traction and control.I agree with the first two, drive slow. If the limit is 60, go 40. Double or triple your following and stopping distance.Be aware of the road surface. Wisconsin is well prepared for snow, so chances are that there will be some clear patches of highway. Those are always good to find if you need to stop suddenly.If you start to skid or "fish-tail" turn your front wheels in the direction your rear end is moving, but be ready to straighten out quickly or else you will begin to skid the other way.
