So this happened no longer than 10 mins ago and I'm in a parking lot taking a breather. I was on a one lane both direction road in some nice curvy back roads and almost lost it due to rain and other stuff.
First off I am guilty of liking to let my tail swing on rainy days since its easier and doesn't ruin my tires completely. So of course I had my DSC off. Let me tell you won't be touching that button for a while.
Any ways took a turn regularly, not trying to do anything stupid because cars were behind me and a F150 on the incoming lane. Note when I do act stupid I make sure no one is around and I mean no one. So it was during turn and just felt the weight and momentum slide the car out. So I corrected which then slid it to other side. Well you how on 1 lane roads they have small dirt and gravel on side to allow cars to pass if need be. Well I believe that saved my ass. Since I think that allow my car to slow down and not slide like it would have on pavement. That led me to make the final correction back on the road.
Let me tell you I do enjoy sliding but not like that. That could have been my first accident *knock on wood*.
Thus this experience has led me to write this thread. I also thought this would be a nice thread to write our experiences and share them with each other.
What can I take from my experience? BEWARE of DSC!
