One rule, not yet mentioned - turn OFF the cruise control!
I've driven on ice more times than I care to remember.
I've hit the ditch, both unintentionally, and intentionally to miss some fool doing something wrong.
I've seen the wind at Walsenburg, CO lay over a semi doing about 5mph (trying his BEST to get off I25, and park into the wind)
I once saw the wind blow a parked rig onto the shoulder (driver stopped on ice)
When ice is involved indoors is the place to be, whenever possible!
(Spectators aren't hurt nearly as often as participants)

I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
