Answer:

pump brakes some and steer into the slide
Basically what ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) does is pump your brakes very fast for you so your wheels do not lock up and your car does not slide. So what you would have to do is if you feel the car start sliding is, let off the brakes and hit them again multiple times to control the slide. Plus just slow down in inclimate weather, that will help also.
Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Although there are many polyesters, the term polyester as a specific material most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyesters include naturally-occurring chemicals, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics through step-growth polymerization such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not. Depending on the chemical structure polyester can be a thermoplastic or thermoset, however the most common polyesters are thermoplastics.
Plastics is a wide genre of materials as is metals. Within this category, there are hundreds of different variations of specific polymer types of which, vinyl and polyester are only two. Vinyl and polyester are plastics.
pump your brakes on snow when slowing down, don't hold steady pressure on them if you don't have ABS.
