What is the best way to get over a patch of ice?

My apartment complex refused to take care of the snow in the parking lots. It has since melted and froze into a 6 inch block of ice. I drive a delta 88 with rwd....

I am not stuck on the ice itself. The parking spot was dug out, you can see the asphalt...I am talking about backing over the ice, not driving on it

Take a bag of kitty litter and spread it where you will be driving on the ice. It will give you traction. Be careful out there tho. |

i would take the matter into my own hands and ask every neighbor to buy a bag of salt and just go to town on your parking lot |

I'd say 6 inches of ice is a bit much for trying to clear with salt, you'd probably have more success with pickaxes.
Anyway, the others have said it, slow is the keyword, and when you got rwd, be prepared for the car going straight when you want it to turn. |

I copied this from an article: If you skid, remain calm. Let off the gas but do not put on the brake. Pushing the gas will cause your tires to spin out due to the reduced traction. Braking to hard will cause your wheels to lock up and you will slide out of control. If it is your front wheels that are sliding, let off the gas and keep the steering wheel steady. If your rear wheels skid, let off the gas and turn the wheel in the same direction that back of the car is sliding. Standard brakes should be pumped gently, but anti-lock brakes require a light and steady pressure. |

Very slowly. Try not to brake or steer while you're on the ice. If you start to skid, turn into the skid (counter-intuitive, but it works.)
RWD is a disadvantage on ice, as you probably know, because there is less weight over the drive wheels compared to a FWD or AWD car. Just take it easy.
At parking lot speeds, ice is not too hard to negotiate. People get into trouble with ice when they suddenly hit a patch they didn't see. |
