Hopefully you have anti-lock brakes that automatically do repeated engagement of the brakes if sliding is detected. If not press repeatedly on your brake pedals.To increase surface area touching the road, decrease your air pressure in all four tires by 2-4 pounds air pressure. This will cause more tire surface to touch the road and increase surface friction and traction.

just proper pressureHow do I find out what car seat is best for my kids?
no unless where you are it is legal to have studded tires or tire chainsotherwise no
good luck
Put tire chains on them. Drive slower on ice. Turn into the skid. Don't hit the brakes when you skid. Buy winter tires and change into them for the season.
cant get car crash out of my head?
maybe it's the driver?Where can i do a background check on cars without paying a fee.free?
you should have abs brakes but they dont always work. drive slower would be a good idea if sliding is presenting a prob. no tire will get traction all the time but if you have high performance tires they are designed to grip dry pavement not wet, icy, or snow covered roads. try some all season radialsAbsolutely nothing will stop tires from sliding on ice. The only thing you can do on ice is go very slowly and avoid braking since when the tires lock you have no steering.
seriously why do the cops never seem to ticket tailgating drivers?
Don't hit your brakes hard. Alot of people slam or hit the brakes hard. You can cause an accident. If you need to slow down take foot off the gas pedal. Down shift when possible (yes even in automatic cars). You can also check into getting cables or chains if the road are bad enough to use them.should i plead not guilty for turning right on a red light without complete stop?

Ice is slippery, it's a fact of life. There's very little traction to be had.You just have to learn to drive on it. It's not hard once you learn.

I mean you can't make the car stick to the ice any better, but you can get it to go where you want.
is uk a left hand or a right hand driving?
Let me describe the physics of what's going on. Even on dry roads, you can spin and skid your wheels, as you well know. When you accelerate or brake or steer, you are "asking" your tires to push on the road, and they can only push so hard. "How hard?" Around 80% on dry road, 40% on wet road, 15% on snow, 10% on wet leaves, and 3% on ice. Yikes!
What is the point of swithching on fog-lights when you can see?
As you can see, you can't do frantic maneuvers because they won't "stick to the road". The tires will break away, and when that happens they're as useless as hockey pucks. You'll just plow right into whatever's ahead of you.
So if you do lose traction, stop doing frantic accel/brake, steer the tires so they're aiming the way the car is actually going, and the tires will mesh back to the road and you'll regain control. Usually you have to do this very quickly, like within 1 second, so you can avoid what you're about to hit :( Practice, practice.
Will I be ok at driving ever??
Find a big empty icy flat parking lot (with no light poles) and "play with it" for an hour or two. 10 MPH tops though. Learn to lose control, learn to regain it. Have some fun. It'll become automatic for you and you'll just know what to do. And that'll make you safer on dry road, too.

I agree with many of the previous responses. Perhaps you should take a defensive driving course to learn how to handle various situations. Completing the course could get you a discount on your auto insurance. Check with your state Motor Vehicle office or see if your insurance company sponsors a course.Check your tire pressure and treads regularly . Make sure you have the right tires for the weather conditions in your area; it's worth the investment.
