Pinball 

The act of bouncing off walls, guardrails, other cars, and the like, on a slippery patch of road. Common in the winter climates where large sections of roadways can be covered in ice and/or snow.

It can also be used to refer to the cars left facing the wrong direction after "pinballing".

Dude, slow down! You don't want to pinball on the black ice!

Be careful driving, I passed 3 pinballs and a roll-over on my way here.
