and I am new to driving on icy roads.I have driven in snow before, but I know there's no perfect car to drive in ice. Do you have any safety tips for driving in icy conditions? Thank you!

drive slowly and maintain a constant speed if possible. braking on ice is bad- on icy hills, its worse. if you find yourself going downhill, drop your car- if its automatic- into "D 1". if your car is manuel, stay in 2nd gear. good luck!!!!!

Drive very slowly and don't try to use your brakes while on a patch of ice!
Infact your better off not being on the road at all! Take your time!

best advice- stay home, if you absolutely positively must drive as if you have no breaks at all and minimum steering control, because thats exactly what you have on ice

Go slow.
Use your brakes sparingly.
Don't brake when turning.
Watch for the other drivers.

Drive careful and if in doubt keep your distant from other drivers.
