coasting up to a light I regularly have @$$holes in huge trucks trying to wipe the dirt off my hatch with their headlights. If he was sipping a coffee, its time for "evassive acceleration". The right move is often the gas pedal. Hit black ice? get on the gas in a FWD and you'd straighten out. (its a hard lesson to learn, but while regularly pushing the limits in my track car, i have learned that point and shoot gets you out of any oversteer conditions)
