Wow, setting myself up for a fall here ain't I?

Picking up on what 'biggbn' says, do winter tyres work on black ice?
The two grip related incidents that I remember most happened in these conditions. There was literally nothing that I could do in either situation other than let the car have it's head and pray.
When I reached my destinations I learned that, on the first occasion, many others had been similarly affected with multiple accidents being reported locally, and, in the second, the police closed the M42 about 10 - 15 minutes later.
I'm very thankful that I no longer need to drive in such conditions, but have every sympathy for those who must.
Regards, John.
