Take it slow.
If your start to slide -pump your breaks and turn into it SLOWLY.
If you get stuck "rock & roll" - put the car in forward go slow until it stops going then [instead of pushing the accelerator down more] you put the car in reverse, back and forth your way out of it SLOWLY!!!
While the rest of ScreaminMime's advice is good, unless you have shitty car from the 90's with no ABS don't pump your breaks; this is old advice. ABS will pump much more efficiently than you could.
My abs is disabled, Im old school.
if you're going out driving enable it. The computer can stop and restart the wheel a dozen times a second, whereas you are much less efficient.
Oh, look at Mr. Rich Guy with his post-90s ca... waidaminute, 90s vehicles are no longer "the shit"?
:-) Hey my first few cars were made in the 90's because that's all I could afford.
Nope, even with AbS you should pump them on ice. I've tested this for years in different vehicles on all sorts of icey and snowey roads. Just a couple days ago sliding down a massive hill into a busy intersection even. You can stop pretty quick on ice by pumping the breaks if you are going about 30.
It should be noted the more weight for traction you add the longer it will take you to stop.
