It is really tough to drive in icey and snow conditions, I find it worse
with 4 wheel ABS . What you experience is normal,the wheels or tires will
slide and slip on ice, Cause there is no traction. Dont sweat the small
stuff, be carefull while driving., allow 5 car or truck lengths when
stopping in ice and snow,and drive a little slower, i do it as a good rule
of thumb, to prevent Collisions if your vehicle decides to continue to
slide,this gives time to correct slide problems.
