What she should have done is slow down before she got to the ice.  Once =
you lose control on ice, you probably won't get it back.

(okay, I live in San Diego, but I grew up in Kansas and lived in =
Michigan for seven winters....it freezes in both places)

  My wife recently crashed her Neon into a ditch. The
  momentum carried her through swampy area. She cut a
  swath through these cattails and received about $4k of
  damage to her Neon. She came out shaken, but otherwise
  all right. This happened because she hit a patch of
  ice and lost control. After it was over she asked what
  she should have done. I told her to press down firmly
  on the ABS brakes and steer where she wanted to go,
  hopefully away from that steep ditch. She told others
  this, and they said I was wrong. They had no other
  remedy, except to stay off those brakes. Was I wrong?=20
