driving on ice : lower tire pressures, drive cautiously carefully and slowly. no sudden movements. use a higher gear, this is one occasion where lugging your engine may be appropriate, it prevents wheelspin and loss of balance.
black ice: one tip, if your headlight even in daylight shows the road ahead "glissening" ie light from road reflects back to you, then there is black ice. stay vertical, pull in clutch and coast. i have used this technique many times. here in canada ir snows 6 months os the year.
