I have had a couple incidents at the exact same junction where i go to pull out and the wheels go crazy with wheel spin, today it was quite a cheeky little pull out and my car slowed right down to a halt wheels just spinning, took my foot off the gas and started over and they spun again. I dont have this problem at any other junction but what is the proper practise to counteract when your wheels spin?

You have no tread on your front tyres, get them replaced asap. When braking hard in the wet you'll lose all traction, so this is really dangerous, get a pair of front tyres!

It's probably a front wheel drive car... like a honda Civic or something right?
Get better tires. The tires dealers sell with cars suck hard core. You'll be happy you spent the money on better tires... it might even save your life one day. Also, those white lines in cross walks get slick.

you didn't specify if your car was front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. 99% of front wheel drive cars do not come equipped with LSD (limited slip differential).. when one wheel either hits a particularly slippery spot (at a given junction) or becomes unloaded (pothole), one wheel (the one with the least amount of traction) will get all the power, thus causing wheel spin.
I recommend stickier tires or buying a car with AWD or traction control

The obvious answer is accelerate or press the gas pedal lighter/slower from a stop. If they do spin let off the gas lightly and they should rehook up.

use less gas, its cold out wich causes the tires on your car to be harder. wich in turn means less traction. so, just ease into acceleration a little smoother and you shouldnt have any problems.
