Light on the gas. Avoid wheel spin. This only heats your tires, which creates ice, and you get less traction.

Start slowing down earlier to stop to avoid skidding. If you don't have ABS, pump the brake pedal if you start to skid.

Avoid abrupt steering and quick lane changes. If start to slide sideways, steer into the slide, but avoid abrupt steering and braking. Stay in the lane with the least snow.

Your in Dallas too? Slow is the only way to drive safe on ice. Take it from a native Cleveland resident. Stay away from idiots in pickup trucks... they seem to think that because they can accelerate faster, they can stop on ice faster which of course is absurd.Drive slow, put snow tires or chains around your tires for increased grip. Break in advance to avoid slidding. Accelerate slowly.
why do they put rear view mirrors on the right hand side of vehicles that give false reflections?
The safest way is not to drive on it if you can help it. They will salt the roads soon and make it more drivable. If you must, leave extra space between you and the car ahead of you, drive slower, steer into the slide and then correct, don't stomp on the brakes, and don't loose patience with the slower traffic.Numer 1 upgrade to increase safety?
Slowly, and carefully. Remember, the major problem with ice isn't moving from a dead stop, it's making changes in direction and stopping.Does my car's rear view mirror flip up device alert people behind me that their brights are on?
Just respect the fact that ice is slippery and has no respect for you or your vehicle.

Gently apply the gas, gently apply the brakes, and if you have to turn, slow down and take the turn very slowly so you don't spin.

When I first learned to drive on ice and snow, I found a vacant parking lot and skidded around a little bit to see how the car reacted when I did certain things. The I practiced stopping, turning, and starting from a complete stop. Once you get a feel, you should be fine.
Why do they call it a car "accident"?
walk!Slowly. If you start to slide don't slam on the brakes. Pumps the brakes gently until you regain control.
what do you think of installing a locomotive horn on my car, to blow at RUDE drivers?
Just go slow and lightly touch the brakes when you have to stop. I live in northern NY on the Canadian border, we snow and ice almost everyday in the winter. Snow tires are a joke don't waste the money. A GOOD all season tire is all you need. If you feel that they aren't good enough then have them studded. Don't use chains they will tear your car up. Cars are not made for that kind of vibration.DON'T.......
If that fails.....SLOW.
