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.
