No rubber can stick to the ground if the water puddle is deep AND running.... so drive safe and slow during heavy rain (small drizzle is ok)....
Last Thu, Cheras Taman Hussien Onn using back way (donno wafark road) towards MRR2.... reach the long slope down (at the industrial area behind Giant) with a traffic lights on top of the hill.... was behind a Polo.... heavy rain, bad visibility....
He sped off at green and i followed.... then suddenly down the road, he slowed down.... me happily went to the left lane and pressed on.... reached the left sweeping corner, hitting 90km++...
Turned the steering and yup... both fronts wheels aquaplaned and lift off.... i oso lifted leg off pedal, slowly counter, waited split second, then tap tap tap brakes....
Car "drifted" due to countering, and then back wheels aquaplaned and lifted.... i countered more and tap tap tap and long tap (not slam brakes) brakes until ABS kick in.... finally the tyres gripped the road, and i was able to "drift" out of the corner without hitting anything or spinning....
If i was in the middle lane, i would have hit the curb and prolly flipped over.... and all this happens in less than 2 seconds....
Lesson: While i attacked that corner usually (in dry and slight wet rain) at 100-120kms, and while the Conti are good in moderate wetness and rain.... THEY CANT DO SHIT IF THE ROADS IS VERY WET AND HAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF FLOWING WATER....
Drive safe you all.... esp up and down Genting....
bro, u shud happy u still here..last time i got bad accident when do cornering at speed 140kph after rain..tayar cnt catch da road, vibrate n slip to middle lane n hit other car, luckily no ppl injure..since that i nvr speed more than 100 during or after rain..sometime nt say our skill ok then enuf, da car performance cnt trust all da times..even F1 vettel tayar oso cn bocor lo...
