That happened to me a year ago when I was had the S-02s. Keep the foot on the gas and countersteer, you should be out of there in a jiffy before any car comes.

It's not just the ice that is a danger this time of the year. With the temperature dipping below freezing the S02s aren't very driver friendly. Cold S02s are almost as bad as slick in the rain.
