The only thing worse than ice is water on top of ice. I did 1 1/2 rotations on wet ice one day and ended up backing down the street, all without touching a curb. I wasn't going very fast either. A little water was running across the street but it seems there was ice underneath it.
I think that was only possible because my car had a manual transmission. My hands were too occupied to have slipped a gear shift lever into neutral, but my clutch foot was free and automatically went into action. And with the clutch depressed the car would go backwards quite easily.
And I was probably lucky.
