Looking at the video again, that is NOT black ice. If that was black ice you wouldn't even be able to swerve or steer what so ever. Black ice is called "black" for a reason.. We get a lot of that down in GA unfortunately.

they do not look like snow tires and your correct. you can not steer on black ice. you can not steer on ice period. unless your doing 5 mph or so.

i would just be glad you got away with a warning ''of your life''and a lesson.

I was praying for you the whole video LOL. I got into an accident Thursday, some jerk off in a Taurus cut me off on the HW I locked my brakes and barely tapped his rear bumper and spun, went sideways and rear ended the guard rail. I was lucky I didn't total it.
