**gearspeed** · November 9th, 2006 02:13 AM

I went out with my friends yesterday.It was raining at costal rd and my speed was around 80km/h.I overtake a car I turned right then I turned left.Then to my suprise my steering wheel turned right as if their is a magnet.I was already braking but not slamming the breaks.I hit a nissan exalta while my friends were screaming but I continued to turn the steering wheel on the left side and it went on the left side and then I hit the gutter of a bridge.Then it stop. I apologized to the nissan exalta and I gave my address and tel no..I suggested to body repair the damage at Julie's Motorshop.The damage reached 5k.My ek has scratches on the front skirt and passenger side and rear fender.
The tires I was using were all 4 snow tires.

What's wrong with your steering wheel?

Ganun talaga kapag nag-lock up, minsan pipitik yung manibela ng full turn.

I've tried it, it's not fun.

Hydroplaned. Worn down / damaged snow tires + rain = dangerous. Even on regular tires, if you hit a puddle as you change lane, it'll jerk your steering to the side.

Nabasa ko ito kagabi, gusto ko sanang mag-reply, pero wala akong internet sa bagong apartment (third move in two months... grabe talaga buhay na ito...)

Shucks, you should've changed the tires after you bought the car... well, at least now you know. Good thing you weren't hurt. Habang nasa shop yan, shopping ka na ng tires.

To those who aren't familiar with GearSpeed's ride, it's a secondhand Japanese EK Civic Hatch, which is why it was on Snow Tires.

Interesting note on the Kenneth Quintal connection: My brother drives along that portion of the Skyway very very often (for the past two years), and he says that for the past few months, that area has become very scary... in fact, he slows down to only 70 km/h when he's driving the Crosswind there, even when it's dry, because the uneven surface and dips scare him. And it's damn dangerous when it rains. I suppose K.Q. wasn't really familiar with the area.
