Could you guys please help? Three of us are going to Iceland in early February for 8-9 days, and plan to visit Vik black sand beach, glacier lagoon, golden circle, grass hat mountain, Reykjavik. We are all "old hands" and of course prefer Road trip. The problem is that we have no experience driving on icy roads, and we are worried that we may not be able to handle the road conditions in bad weather. Could you guys please tell us whether we should give up Road trip? If we don't give up, what safety measures should we take ?

Absolutely do not give up Road trip. Iceland is the best place for Road trip. Don't worry about the road. Most of the places you play are on route 1. A front wheel drive car can drive in winter, and the road conditions are very good. There are many scenic spots around the island on the straw hat mountain. Some may need a four-wheel drive car to drive in. It's not as ugly as you imagine. Just don't exceed the speed limit.
