35+ years of driving and skidded on black ice today

Not an experience I’d ever care to repeat!
Luckily was going slow as just pulled out of our estate onto the mini roundabout but the feeling of the wheels being out of control and skidding was scary.
Travelled up to the next mini roundabout where two cars were not as lucky and had had run in to each other.

Take care if you’re out and about as it’s treacherous out there.
I think the gritters had not been out, or had not managed to make it to our bit.

Yeah I could feel the back end of my car skid out going round a roundabout a few weeks ago on the ice. It’s not pleasant! Are you confident in how to control the car if you did have a big skid again in the future?

Scary isn't it. Good that you are okay though.
