No that ICE but the stuff that comes in winter with snow. What are your secrets for driving safely.

I usually just floor it and use the hydroplane method. I use the ditch slopes to curve the turn, mailboxes usually correct my course.

I moved to Texas.

First respondent. This thread obviously caught your attention.

I lived in Alaska for 25 years, there you deal with it. Moved to Dallas in 1996, now if there is ICE on the road, I don't go anywhere, no one here knows how to drive on it. :aok

I’ve been driving a Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee since I’ve owned cars. Other than cars for my wife that’s all I’ve ever bought.

Hmmm,…Must be reflex from redundant compulsive repetition of bbs.

Ice is never good to drive on, but if you absolutely have to drive, use chains on your tires. Always helps to get a new set of tires if your treads are low. Also you can deflate your tires just slightly to get better traction. Anything less than AWD vehicles id not drive on ice at all.

I needed tires for an old 280zx turbo and put some nearly bald and barely dot legal legal A008r race tires.
Yes, they would hydroplane but had grip on ice like I never expected.

At -40 deg. Ice is like concrete for the most part. :devil

In Idaho when the roads became icy at the start of winter I always watched for the big pickups. They seemed to believe that because they were good for off roading and could pull through snow they could stop on ice better. They can't. I always waited at a 4 way stop or light if they were barreling down because much of the time they just slid on through. I'm not a pickup bigot, I had a big crew cab 4 wheel drive "Silveraydo" myself.

It is, the colder it is the more traction you get

:x Had a ice storm in Birmingham one year. They interviewed a visiting Northerner after he wrecked his car on the ice covered road. He proclaimed our road ice was different than his northern road ice. He then claimed he was an expert on driving on ice and he would not wreck up north.

Well, you may not use salt there, what he is probably used to.

DFW area the biggest problem are iced over bridges. People drive too fast then hit their brakes when they get on the ice.

You pour kerosene all over the road and light a match. Now, you need a boat.

Saw that movie when I was 7 or 8. That scene always stuck with me.

I use common sense. I have a couple of four wheel drives. But I don't need them. It's not hard if you use your brain.

I was working in Evergreen, Co, winter 2000-2001. It amazed me people doing 70mph+ in 3" of snow you just had to wait for someone to slam on their brakes and watch the fun show. I swear they must of all been from Los Angeles.

Yes the ice is drier. The warmer, the softer and wetter, the ice is like a greased pig.

Tow trucks and body shops love the first snow fall.
