Wow, I can see this is one of those seriously deep questions that just eats away at you to no end, so much so that you're forced to post a question on Yahoo Answers because the question is such a profound, troublesome weight to bear on your own. Whew. Deep man, truly deep.

Black ice is deadly, by the way, because you can't see it. If you're going too fast and you turn just right - slip - you're out of control. At least slush lets you know it's there and allows you to adjust your driving as necessary. A driver's ed instructor might tell you that they are equally dangerous.

Answer 14

black ice

Answer 15

Black ice for sure cause you can't really see it, slush you know when your driving on it..Black ice can come out of nowhere

Answer 16

black ice.

slush will push you around a little, but you can still stop the car or turn it if you need to keep from hitting someone...

black ice, i don't care how heavy your car is, or how light, or what tires, or if its 4wheel drive, or if you have ABS or traction control... you are not in control.

all this "you never see black ice coming" is retarded... if the road was wet, and the air was cold, and there has not been enough sunlight to melt it, you can assume every single smooth spot is black ice... and even when you KNOW the road is covered in black ice, you are still not in full control of the vehicle... aka "out of control"

Answer 17

both are bad

Answer 18

Black Ice. Slush sucks to drive on and is dangerous but when you is slushy you know what the road conditions are (slushy) so you are prepared for the way to drive in it. Black ice is almost impossible to plan for because even when the weather channel warns of it, you can't tell where it is and when your tires will suddenly lose traction.

Answer 19

black ice is defiantly the worst you canot see it wile driving

Answer 20

Black ice because it doesn't appear to be ice, just a dark spot on the road

Answer 21

The danger in these kinds of things is because they can be hard to prepare for HOWEVER....BLACK ICE IS WORSE because you do not know where it is or have any warning!!! Slush you can see, predict, avoid... which makes it much less dangerous

Answer 22

blace ice - b/c you cant see it on the roads and it causes many accidents. ice is slicker than slush.

Answer 23

black ice is more difficult to drive in. you don't know about it until you feel the car sliding usually.

Answer 24

Black ice is bad no doubt about it . . .  the reason ice is so bad is becasue it is notorious for giving your tires little traction. It can be especially dangerous over bridges because this is where it tends to form most frequently . But as far as which is worse i would have to say slush is worse because it gives you far less traction than black ice does(mostly because it fills the treds on your tires giving you "0" traction at all, opposed to ice which gives you some traction becasue there is at least something to grip onto).

Answer 25

Black ice, for sure.  Slush, though wet, can still give traction.  Black ice is simply no traction or very little traction at all.

Answer 26

Black ice b/c you can't see it to prepare for it.  Slush is easily visible.

Answer 27

No question -----   black ice far worse.

The smooth surface of black ice offers no traction for your tire,  and nothing to interfere with sliding.   Slush is a combination of ice particles and water,  and the ice can offer a little friction as the particles roll under the tire like sand in a shoe.
