When there's ice on the streets, you should drive very cautiously. Drive slowly, and try to stay in the right lane. Change lanes and turn corners carefully. Also, change your speed slowly. When you try to speed up or step on the brakes quickly, the tires may not stick to the ice. Then you won't be able to stop. Stay home when you can. When you must drive, try to wait until someone puts salt on the roads.
