Near miss on the highway from Ipoh to Penang.
Avoidable if the car had ABS.
Proton Saga 1991, going downhill, wet road, ~90-100km/h.

Two lorries ahead on the slow lane, one lorry doesnt see me (or thinks i can stop in time), cuts out to the fast lane to overtake the other lorry.

i slam the brakes, Tyres lock up. no communication between steering wheel and tyres. The Car keeps going, downhill towards the ass of the lorry. Luckily i lifted my foot off the brake, while the steering was turned to the left.
The car jerked to the slow lane, and i quickly brought it back to the fast lane. Everything happened so fast.

There were 5 people in the car (including me). The ******* lorry almost killed us. But i blame the car more, coz no ABS.
