Just in case it comes in handy, the proper way to drive down on icy roads:
1) Stay home.
2) If you must drive, put it in low gear and use your hazards/four-ways when going down hills.
3) Keep the brake handy - it's easier to keep it slow than to try to slow or stop suddenly. Riding the brake will most likely lock things up, so don't do it.
4) Give 2-3 times the amount of room you're supposed to between cars (note: this is quite a bit more than the amount you usually leave between cars! It's supposed to be one car length per 10 MPH.)
5) Don't rush pulling out into traffic. Just because you see a huge amount of space between two cars, doesn't mean you can fit there (read #4 again).
