I have. On snow, ice, dirt or wet pavement.
One time I went to my Mom and Dad's in Kalamazoo Mi over the holidays. My dad, brother I and two of my kids decided to go over to the Ford museum for the day. On the way back around 8 pm or so it began snowing. It was light but the road seemed to be clear under the blowing snow. I had it on cruise and was boogying along.
All at once while on a curve the truck lost its back end and slid big time. I corrected and it immediately slid the other direction, then back the first direction, each skid getting larger and more ominous. For an instant I thought WTF?
You could hear only one sound in the car as everybody held their breath....my hands patting the wheel back and forth...pit a pat a pit a pat and so forth.
Then realized i was on ice on an unnoticed bridge on the curve and the cruise control was trying to get the front wheels to go the desired speed by accelerating the car.
I tapped the brake pedal and the truck came straight again.
All that time and nobody screamed although they must have been as scared as I was....no probably not.
You definately don't want to be going sideways in a Suburban if you didn't plan it ahead.
