close calls on ice

I rode the 7 mile ride home in the snow and ice last night (in colorado springs). All was well till was ridding down hill going around 10-15 mph I made eye contact with a driver of and SUV who had stopped at a stop sign about 50ft ahead. I guess He didn't really see me because He pulled out in front of me and almost hit me head on I put my feet down and hit the breaks and started to fishtail side to side on the ice we came about 2ft from a crash. It seemed like slow motion wile sliding looking right at the guy and yelling into his window ''HEY STUPID WATCH WHAT YOUR'E DOING!!''

I was shaken up from that. Has anyone els had any close calls in the snow and ice with cars?
