Driving in the snow...today's encounter
Today in the evening I went to blockbuster to rent LOTR. The one on jane didn't have it, so I went driving by Humber through those streets to get to Dundas. I had to go up a hill. I started out fine but towards the center of the hill, the car started to lose alota traction. At one point I stopped, people passed me, and then all of a sudden even while I'm on the brakes I start to slide down. So I turned the wheel so my front right tire would hit the curb. That's how I stopped. I was riding at ~2km the rest of the hill steering right and left. At the point where I was sliding I thought I was ****ed. That was an expereince...the craziest part for me though was that I was on the brakes and was sliding down.
Thank God that he was looking out for me.  Anyone have any fun encounters also lately? |

nope not me. in a case like that just deflate your tires to half of the pressure and the traction will be like on dry

yes a 5 car pile up right infront of me on the way back from the airport.. it included a cop car that is now in pieces.
The trip that I can make back in about 20min in the rain @90mph took over an hour... |

considering conditions.. no it happened just out of sight from what i can tell. We were doing 40km/h and it was all white out (limo driver was going crazy) then we got flashed by some white lights (possibly a car spinning but) and we drove over some broken shit and there were these cars on the side of the road all spun out. It was whack! As for sliding backwards, in time you'll learn to make a run at some big hills like that. |
