When I got caught in the ice/sleet/snow storm earlier this year, for the first time in my life, just the idle of the car was enough to spin the tires and send me on a slow motion (very slow motion) spin towards a concrete barrier on I-44. I was on an onramp that was banked to the right while it turned to the right. I was going uphill, turning to the right, while on about a 10 degree embankment sliding at about 1 mile an hour towards the barrier. While I wasn't freaking out I was wondering how difficult it would be to get out and shove against the wall to try to get my car away from it.
