What to do when there's black ice and you're driving


Recommended Posts

Low gears & engine breaking can help get grip back, or keep grip sometimes. Keep in low gear down hills, slow down early for junctions & change down gears before you hit any ice you see at a junction. Use winter tyres. Keep a close eye on the road surface, especially approaching bends & junctions.

 

If you hit some thick ice you didn't see & end up in a skid then you can't really do a lot, just don't break too hard or steer too hard.
