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.
