--- Quote from: $trinick on May 14, 2014, 03:08:58 PM ---Holy stuff. Today I was driving down a road that had a large curve at a decent speed, and I saw an emergency vehicle near the end of it. I'd seen that same emergency vehicle there every day for the past week, and there's plenty of construction in the area, so I ignored it and continued cruising at about 85mph. I'd turned traction control off because I did a burnout before that, so that was still off. I approach the emergency vehicle and see the road is clear, so I put my foot back on the gas. Right about then is when I noticed a puddle of water across the lanes right next to it. My car slid out about 25 degrees what seemed like instantly. I corrected, and still lacking traction on my back tires they slid out the other direction, more like 45 degrees this time. I was facing a metal guard on the side of the road, and I whipped the wheel around in a hail mary to recover without hitting that guard. Thankfully, I corrected exactly the right amount and my tires hooked back to the pavement with me facing straight ahead after doing a MONSTER fishtail on a 2 lane road. --- End quote --- Oh crap. Glad you and your car is ok. |
