last weekend... was driving in a mild drizzle sa sumulong hiway... mga around 50-60 kph yun. medyo malapit ako sa gilid ng road pero hindi sagad.... mga 1 1/2 car-width distance from the road gutter. from about 40-50 meters ahead, merong revo taxi na nakastop... nung medyo malapit nako.. biglang bumukas yung left middle door!! pasahero bababa!! :whoa: :whoa: :freak:
reflex reaction ko, brake sabay bang sa busina! before i knew it, my rear tires were skidding to left.... nag-freeze ako. nawala yung instinct ko to pull the steering wheel to the left din para kontrahin. tapos nag stall engine ko dahil tumugil nako sa pag-skid.
ginawa ko...buhay na lang ulit makina...tapos andar na lang. dedma na lang kahit asar na asar ako dun sa pasahero na bumaba. sinilip ko sya sa rear view mirror... parang na-shock din sya. buti na lang, nakalayo ng yung kia pride na nasa kaliwa ko, kundi 3 car collision kami. all these happened in less than 5 or 10 seconds.
lesson learned... ingat sa driving on wet roads :D how i wish my XTO had ABS
this is not my first time na nag-skid ako... the first time...was driving my good ole beetle sa C5... nag-hydroplane yung gulong ko, then skid to the left... my instincts saved me.. kabig din ako pakaliwa so bumawi. luckily kumagat din yung gulong when i hit relatively drier road.

good thing that you still managed to stay calm and safe bro!
those are the times that you wish that our local car manufacters would've made ABS and airbags a must for all vehicles.

Buti di ka tumama.
Parang may napanood ako dati sa Discovery na dapat daw swerve na lang instead of brakes. Of course my memory of it could be wrong, plus it may not apply in your situation...
And then I found this link, but not sure if it's true or applies for everyone: http://www.brisbaneperformance.com/a...mergencies.phpLast edited by the_wildthing; August 11th, 2004 at 01:38 PM.

good thing walang masamang nangyari.
swerving as opposed to braking is only applicable when you are aware of your surroundings. may kasalubong, may nakabuntot, and so on.
pero kung ako nabigla preno lang din ako.

Although different factors may affect how the cars will behave in such a situation, its usually better to refrain from making sudden movements (turning/kabig) and fully lifting off the gas then slamming the brakes hard if traction isnt good (i.e. slippery roads, hydroplaning, etc). The change in the balance of the car can cause the car to lose control all the more.
It will take practice but one possible thing to do in such a situation would be to ease off the gas ( but not lift off fully) and make one initial pressure step on the brakes before going full force on it.
Another thing to do is to steer clear first if you can before slowing down or hitting hard on the brakes if needed.
How i really wish all cars had ABS now. It really helps (stomp hard and steer).

First time ko 120km/h bumitaw ang likod na gulong ko nag sideways ako.. buti na lang paliko ang kalye so i end up facing the right direction. nakarecover ako mga 80km/h ang takbo ko.. nangagatog lahat ang tumbong ko..
