Especially in northern England this varies town by town. When I went to uni each of us had a different name for a path between houses. Snicket, ginnel, cut-through, twitchel.
Then we had the bun, roll, barm cake argument.

I lost control on black ice in New Jersey (USA) on 287 North bound side over 15 years ago. I was going 60 mph (100 kph). The trick in most cars is you need to turn with the spin of the car not against it. I did 3 to 4 360 degree spins, and continued on my way. Thank God no one was near me on the road at the time. Years of practice made me know what to do.
You're right about the slippage of the tires. Once they start to slip, get them to not slip as best as you can.

I did do before setting off. But I will be following my gut next time and taking a safer route.

I had probably 30 people I regularly hung out with in college between people I met in my dorm, roommates, and their friends. I regularly talk to like 3 of those people. The reality is, in college and high school, you’re friends due to proximity.

monitor the weather conditions at all times during winter, and it wouldn't sneak up on you

Wow that must have been pretty scary. The worst thing about black ice is that we think everything is fine but it pops up like the boogeyman.

Yep I've called them snickets since people who aren't driving can use them. Technically I was driving on a pushbike lol
