Tapping your breaks on black ice is not a good idea

IF the road is iced no one can stop until they run into something

You find out its black ice by tapping the breaks as a test.

Physics and experience shows that the vehicle will not travel forever on ice based on momentum alone, take your foot off the gas and it will slow to a stop.
