Drive Carefully… This could happen at any time!Posted by: Linus on 10th October 2008So I spun my car on a highway exit the other night. To give you some context for the images below, I was travelling about 50km/h in the outside lane when suddenly I completely lost traction and drifted to the right. I geared down into first to slow myself down and get traction with the road, and was able to brake enough to keep the car from rolling into the barrier (as you can see, it was VERY close). Thinking that the problem was mechanical (couldn’t see anything obvious, but hell, I’m no expert) I called up BCAA for a tow, and while I was explaining the problem to them, a truck a little bit further back on the turn spun out and did a 180 turn so he ended up facing the car behind him. That made me think it was not a problem with my car so I got in, gave it a shot, and sure enough my car is fine. Goes to show how dangerous driving can be. If someone had been in the next lane over I would have hit them for sure…. |

You’re lucky! It’s good karma redeemed
What did you expect - its a FWD Honda, it can’t drift that sexy slope - get a 240sx! I hope you were at least using the heel toe method.
At least your alright, that could have been disastrous. Now I know why you use BCAA so much
Right comment place this time… anyways… please learn to drive.
