Weather: Rainy
Road: 2-lane rural road that I use daily to return home from college
Car: Proton Wira 1.5A
Turbo: No =p
Speed: ~60-70km/h
Typical speed for the path: 80-90km/h
Occurrence: Never

Illustration of the skid:


Before the skid occured: Calmly driving, taking the slight left turn smoothly
1 second after moving the steering: Car unexpectedly drifting to the right
Countermeasure: Turn the wheel more to the left
Consequences: Skidding starts. Tyres screeching. Approaching to the left shoulder of road
Re-countermeasure: Turn hard to the right
Consequences: Car spin! Wheel locked. Steering feels non-responding
Countermeasure: Sit and watch the road spin
Risks: Chances of hitting lamp poles and road dividers
Final output: Skidded for about 20m, front bumpers touched down on road dividers. Minor scratch. Car in opposite direction of traffic

No casualties. Thank God.

And these Proton cars don't come with good brakes, ABS, traction control and airbag. I feel unsafe now.

and the results...i wrecked my mom's

cool story i spose

change the car ???

heard of karma?

check ur tires bro.... dont endanger urself and others...

btw.... i have sort of similar situation like u.... sked like hell, but darn, it felt good to be alive....

omg you didnt die??????
this is most saddening.....

in b4 someone says "aiyah............"

shit... i thought mayanne was mine

Tyres are still horny, seriously. Maybe I'll just consider trading in this set of tyres to something better.

Lol! Whose thread did I close recently? I must check.

now its proven that your not the stig haha...

your car should be flip over before the spin began

Lol, Wira can flip over? I only saw Kancil doing it.

niase driving skill dude.

less one(or more)moderator is exactly what we need.....

time to upgrade to 2pot disc brakes and potenza tires.

This is wat i had in july 2002, exactly the same .. wheel locked and the tyres did not grip on the road due to wet ..

It costs RM RM11k .. the engine near total lost

If countersterred correctly, you would have amazed those following you as the would have thought that you are performing a 'shadow drift'

Yeah, my car is going sideway all along the red lines.

ensure ur rear tyre is botak so u can drifting

no need skeding car losted control liao one

emm..so u like a cat huh?? hav 9-1? life??

i thought all asians knew how to drift @.@

thsts why la ur father ask you to deliver taugeh you refuse.....

Can

Takumi Fujiwara wannabe

Instead of handbreaking or emergency breaking....u sit and watch the movie as a part of the crew in it.

For someone to drift properly on FF car, it takes lots of skill. My level is not so high although I play NFS.

I actually don't feel anything during the skid. It just felt like another NFS.

Then it was later when I start to think of my family, the person I love, friends, Lowyat.Net and facebook.

instead of thinking about MayAnne u were more concerned about moderating?

which nfs? if ur any good at nfs shift you should be able to drift on ff whut . just press right trigger and throttle then turn the jostcik in the opposite direction of ur drift and then throttle according to how long you wanna drift.

well kambing bag = welcome back

i wont fail next time.
ill make sure my sabo works

Wah your car only minor damage? Lucky you.

Go back home must pray pray oredi.

why u care? tot u've been maymay'ed?

i lol damn... i also got accident my speed was like times two of yours

if its not for mengsuan, i could have both.
dammit

glad u r fine ^^

I dont think your car drifted towards the right lane but more like understeer to me...the only thing to do is lift off the gas pedal and tap the brakes lightly..

Feels like NFS:MW. The uncontrolled drift feeling which leaves Z shape skid marks on road.

Totally not the butter smooth feeling like NFS Carbon drift.

Haha, Mayanne is too cute.

Yeah, only minor scratch on the bottom of the front bumper. Not obvious at all.

*would prefer to use the awsm grin girl but gotta remove *

Added on January 11, 2010, 10:48 pmah how i miss the fight between mengsuan and EM.

*lol dupe-no-jutsu!*

pls dont rub salt to my wounds

ayam sad you didnt die.oooops better fai** dai 1st

If I was driving 140km/h and it skidded, I'm sure the car would have fell into a cliff.

Haha.. Sorry EM. Have fun with maymay k?

same thing happened to a friend of mine, skidded on a rainy day and car ended up in a ditch.

didnt die also. therefore, i conclude from these case studies that it is perfectly safe to skid a car during a rainy day.

if you happen to die, you're the exception that proves the point. tough luck.

mengsuan luckily you are still alive
which means..i still can bully you lar xd LOL

i pray for you guys.....
i am lucky for i am alive to surf lyn

serious: if something like that happen, what should we do actually?

RIP....oh wai- ur til here....dayum

lucky mengsuan tarak patah kaki,tangan dan.....

dai bou lam guo.. thx god

I thought really cannot, because that's what I'm hopping for.

Not your death but just your moderating.

Dude, that's exactly what happened to me 3 years ago! Didn't scratch anything though. First going < ended up at the > lane facing >. Then I just continued driving off the > lane

d JAR Vooooo

so scary. i am taking P soon...

just drink and drive...
kikapo

future Takumi

well, it is much much much harder to do it with steering wheels...

i know why you lost control.
she was giving u a bj wasnt she?

drive at mount kiara
lol

I smashed my car at 30 km/h on a rainy day before stupid LDP got ppl taruh stuff , a few cars skid with me I langgar tembok already got cars almost langgar me.

in front of western digital?
or the one in the underpass?
dangerous place, LDP is

the turn near the puchong toll, for cars from kelana jaya heading to sunway

experienced that twice going down from Genting. But still alive too.

cars dont have steering wheels silly.

what century are jew livin in @>@

dah agak dah kene ha aku dah agak dah

Mind to use this for more accurate elaboration?

http://draw.accidentsketch.com/

the more reason to not come back alive~

Tsk. And they dare give us saman and ask us to drive carefully, when the car they produce can even float on water ....


Thankgod no one was hurt ; )

how was that? ur life just flash by ur eyes... fun?

dah agak dah kene ha aku dah agak dah

lesson: dunt drive fast during rainy time.

what is this? where's the sandwich?

lucky you.. come play LFS...

got jizz in pants or not

first u let go accelerator too fast
second u step in the brake to heavy
= spin ...

lucky weh nothing bad happens. maybe you need to change the tires?

I'm glad that you're OK.

Please be more careful next time.

I do not want you to be the first Moderator to go.

Take LRT or bus. Better. Can online some more.

mod should choke (press n release) the brake pedal for a few time to let the car grip back to the road.

You screwed up the second part of your 'drift', go practice tomorow

haha u son of a bit**

CHOIIIIIIIII!!!!! Dun say things like that pls!

Lucky you has mad driving skills mang. But nid improve if you dun wan skid to the other side of the road with oncoming traffic.

Sometimes got car or lori leak oil, then spill on the road. When it rains the oil also floats, so even if you drive slower, just need to kena 2 of your tyres kantoi liao.



If you feel your car beginning to spin dun hit the brakes and keep it down, doing that will lock your wheels like what you experienced, and you'll skid even more uncontrollably. You need to hit the brake sequentially to regain control of the skidding, dun spin your steering wheel too hard either.

Wow, I once skid for 100+m in a roundabout between 2 lorries... after exp like this, always remember to slow down at curves

safe!!

i wonder if when mods die, they go to a heaven where they spend eternity moderating heavens forums......

this is assuming that theres internets in heaven of cos.
