Careful, just stab the brakes for a split-second. Don't hold the brakes long enough to get sideways!
A couple of time I've been warned of ice by truckers. Some intall a white light facing backwards, illuminating their wheels. If its wet out, they turn it on for a moment & look in their mirror. If the road looks wet & their tires aren't making any spray, then its ice.
At night, the road temperature can be much colder than the air temperature. Especially bridge decks. If the sky is clear, the roadway (especially blacktop) is radiating to the sky which is at 2.7 Kelvins. That's -455 deg.F & that's why dew can collect & then freeze into puddles when the temperature gauge on your car can indicate well over freezing.
