Yeah, I always (when no ne else is even near me) actually stab the brakes for a second to see just how frozen the road is. DO THIS AT LOW SPEED. It will give you a good idea of what the conditions are. Just don't try this if you are a complete newbie to driving in snow or you might freak out  . In that case, as said above, try it in an empty parking lot for practice, AT LOW SPEED.
Otherwise, get yourself a nice SUV with some kick-ass winter tires. And don't feel invincable, just able.
