Your epic driving wins again.

You'd be surprised how few people know to steer INTO a skid...

of the times i have lost control it just seems natural to steer the direction of the skid, i do it without even thinking.

good thing your ok... i was driving my corolla and when i came up on the truck scales i noticed a semi in the lane on my left going very slow. i was doing the speed limit. before i had time to think he jumped into my lane and nearly slammed me into the k rails. i went from 65 to 20 quicker than i ever thought i could in a 23 year old car.:3d_frown:

I hate those OH Shit moments. Going fast...oh so fun. Stopping...priceless! Can't say enough for good defensive driving habits.

I was driving for first time with my dad and there was a traffic jam and the cars started piling up. He's like you need to slow down...little louder you need to really slow down, as the cars bumper is growing rapidly. I totally misjudged how quick I needed to to stop.

I've had too many close calls pulling a backhoe on a gooseneck and a guy passes then jumps in the lane to turn. NO CHANCE!!! I just moved over.
