if you can c ice put it in a higher gear so ur wheels r turning easily and brake softly if u have to, as if them wheels lock up ur fooked , and turn softly as possible thats if u have to turn.

yup i managed to 30 miles to work and 30 miles home again on country road with out brakin!!!. the taxi driver behind me jus couldnt handle it how i was slowin down wi out brakin lol

Yeah, change down gears and steer! Dont use your brakes!

use the gears mate, i have been doin it in the nova. shame i dont have to corsa like.lol

I thought this post was refering to the firewall....

I shall go and sit in the corner!!

:rolleyes:

..or jump out of the car to save yourself :!

nope, cadence braking is a tecnique you could use, just go on and off the brakes quickly and that should give you some degree of steering/ braking.

Also use the gears to slow the car instead of the brakes.

yep

no abs! so if it happens again, i'm in the shit!!!:(

prey mate

its its black ice theirs nowt much you can do. :(
Narrow/wintergrip tyres will help but studded tyres are what you need on ice.

you got abs?

yeaterday i nearly went into the hedge, from black ice, well i know i SHOULDN'T of braked but it was an natural instinct to do so!! which made me slide more! so if it happens again what should i do, use my gears to slow me down or what??
