Suggested du’a for driving in slippery conditions
‘Allamah Sakhawiy (rahimahullah) has quoted a Scholar from the past to have suggested the following du’a for protection against ones conveyance skidding/slipping:

إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا
InnAllaha yumsikus samawati wal arda an tazula

Indeed Allah Ta’ala is the One who keeps the heavens and the earth from moving/shaking.

The full incident
Muhadith Ibrahim ibn Isma’il (rahimahullah) narrates that his father mentioned:
I was on journey from Harran to Al-Musil during the season of winter, mud and rainfall. Many people’s camels were falling, and people were facing severe harsh conditions.
I feared for myself, knowing well my feeble state, so I slept and I heard someone saying “Should I not teach you something if you read it your camel will not fall and you will be safe?” I said “Of course and may you be rewarded.” So he said to me, say:

 إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا

I recited it and my camel never falter/fall till we reached Al-Musil and people incurred a lot of damage due to their camels falling whilst what I had was saved.
(Al-Ibtihaj, bi adhkaril musafiri wal hajj)
This du’a is quite apt and is derived from Ayah: 41 in Surah: 35

Recite frequently when driving in bad weather

التخريج من المصادر العربية

الابتهاج بأذكار المسافر والحاج (ص ٤٠): وروينا عن إبراهيم بن إسماعيل بن غازي الحراني قال: قال لي أبي: خرجت من حران إلى الموصل في زمن الشتاء والوحل والأمطار، وكانت جمال الناس تقع كثيرا، وقاسى الناس شدة عظيمة، فكنت أخشى على نفسي لما أعلم من ضعفي، فنمت فسمعت قائلا يقول: ألا أعلمك شيئا إلا قلته لم يقع جملك وتأمن به؟ فقلت له: بلى والله، ولك الأجر. فقال لي: قل: {إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولَا} [فاطر: ٤١] الآية، فقلتها، فما وقع جملي حتى دخلنا الموصل وهلك للناس شيء كثير من سقوط جمالهم وسلم ما معي.
أخرجه ابن العديم في ترجمة إسماعيل من «تاريخ حلب».

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «طُوْبَى لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلْخَيْرِ، مِغْلَاقًا لِلشَّرِّ»

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) Said: “Glad tidings be for the one whom Allah uses as a key for (opening) good and a lock for evil.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 238)
