Yesterday night had a small incident wt GaGa. Those who follow will know I had a Shawie running on sports tayar, whilst my GaGa on eco tayar. If u do not know, Shawie not only had similar chassis layout like GaGa, instrument panel also look alike. Other than physical appearance & engine output, basically they're the same species.

Here's the thing, I've been driving Shawie as my daily ride. I'm so attached to the road holding feelings of Shawie, most of the corners I can sliced through without worrying the "tail" will skid. Whilst I was driving my GaGa yesterday night, I have totally forgotten I'm in a SEDAN On the way back home after LDP toll, its an up slope flyover bent to the right joining MRR2. I was taking it 110kph as usual with my Shawie. All of a sudden, the rear end break loose. Instinctly I made the same mistake as any amateur - I jump the gas pedal & slam on the brakes As a result of weight shifting due to lift off oversteer, the entire car was brought into an irrecoverable spin. Lucky thing is, I did not make adjustment on my steering wheel, and if I did the car would be spinning to the left. Imagine when the car travelling 110kph on a right bent, momentum to the left, roll steer to the left, and if I make countersteer to the left... I think I hit today's headlines by flying a GaGa off a flyover and landed on a stretch of Vellfire(impot car dealers across the flyover).

The 360'+270' spun to the right, roughly 1.75round brought my GaGa to almost back on track, but engine stalled Right behind me was a prime mover! When I have the time to turn my head to assess(out of rear view mirror range due to the spun angle), the prime mover was skidding as well. The truck driver managed too stopped the truck on time, probably 10ft behind me I got out of the vehicle, apologized to the truck driver, got lectured for few minutes. As the truck totally blocked the 2 lane flyover, I managed to convince the truck driver to keep the lecture material until next time. I told him I'll be reporting the incident, he can choose to report as well. Rest assured, there will be no insurance claim as there's no damage done. If he reports then I'll get a reckless driving/speeding ticket for that matter.

Lesson learnt. Not the car, not the tayar, its the driver who put themself into danger situation. I will try to remind myself more often that I'm in a sedan with eco tayar the next time I drive my GaGa
