This just happened...
Driving back from a friend's in Calne. Coming back along the lanes, tight left hand bend (normally a 35mph corner in clear dry conditions).
Approach speed: 15mph, maybe less.
Time: 12:10am.
Outside temperature: -2.5C
Hit a patch of black ice. Right on the bend. Was taking it easy - but managed to get into a 4-wheel drift for about a quarter of a second. Back starts to slide, I flick on some opposite lock. By this time the ESP has kicked in and sorted the problem out as I straighten up out of the slide.

Oh My Gawd!!!!!!! you posted this just 2 days after my Daughter's black-ice smash, and I've only just started to read your threads. May I invite your contribution to my 'Do Winter Drivers Need to be Better Informed' posting, please?
