my celi, today's accident Options

[Shigexile]

i was driving on a highway (I-90 for those who may know) and it was raining outside. i was going about 75mph and i keep noticing the car's rear end keeps sliding out. i had three other people in my car. then all the sudden i see everything moving slow like i'm gonna dye or something. then what do you know, all the sudden i start spinning out. i spun about three times and i was just waiting for the disguisting sound when the car's body meets the wall but luckly i barely missed the wall and went into the ditch that seperates the east and west highway. i could say i'm very very lucky that nobody got hurt and the car was scratchless. everyone was calm except for one moron.
my two guy buds helped me pushed the car out of the ditch and get back on the road. it seems like all my tires were tredless. so i had no traction what so ever. so our ski trip becomes cancelled and i go get me some new tires and head home.
it was one crazy day. i felt sorry for them for dealing with me.

It seems strange, especially with all the people in the back, that weight alone I assume should hold the back wheels to the ground, but even then.. its FWD, rear ends sliding out on a FWD car is near impossible, but if it had bad tires I guess it could have. I don't know. glad to hear everyone/thing is okay.

Definately not true. I drive the same route to work everytime, and when it rains theres one part of the road that curves, and I've been almost completely sideways a couple times (on accident). The curve is less than 45 degrees, and I'm never going over 45mph. One thing you have to take into account is the type of pavement you're on. Some road's can get REAL slick when it rains, and other types allow you to keep a decent amount of traction.

Shiqexile, I'm not gonna say that you shouldnt have been going that fast, because I hope after today you learned that. The Speed limit is the maximum speed for driving in IDEAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. You and your friends are really lucky, and I'm sure you've learned from this little mishap that going a little bit slower in crappy conditions, really isn't so bad compared to wrecking and dying.
