my skidding experience

[Jeepcruizerph]

bat di ko na eexperience yan sa yoko s306 ko...gustong gusto ko nga pinaglalaruan sa tubig dito sa clark...

for me lang po...good grip sya...pag misan 60-80kph ako biglang may tubig...straight parin ang takbo ng xwind

unlike sa bfg a/t ko dati...kakabig na yung manubela ko sa tubig.

RWD vehicles like pick-ups and the Xwind will fishtail easier in the wet especially with a light rear... Never step on the gas on a slippery turn until you're entire car (rear wheels) is facing the direction you want to go.

Dust & mist don't mix. Di bale nang umulan kesa sa umambon ng bitin. Mas delikado yun.

agree ako dito, mas maingat ako mag drive pag unang ambon pa lang.. mas kampante na ako pag malakas na yung ulan..

sana nga, i'm willing to pay for extra amount for ABS/EBD sa revo ko.. kaso wala talaga, sana simulan ng toyota sa 2005 revo na available ang ABS, buti pa ford everest meron..

hindi ba meron LSPV ang rear brakes ng mga AUVs and pickups? naa-adjust po ba ito? ang intindi ko kasi is mas less ang braking sa rear wheels pag light lang ang load..

[mazdamazda]

revogsx,

ano yung LSPV?

ang alam ko lang is EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), which calculates the braking force depending on the vehicle's load.

sa mga high-end variants ko lang nakikitang may EBD.

I did a 180 degree skid in a 2003 Trooper with ABS... dont know how I did it but im sure the ABS are working (at least on a straight line)?!!

Just happened last month in White Plains Ave... came from edsa and a bit speeding... saw a truck w trailer on the right side, so plenty of space, I didnt slow down...

When I was near the trailer... nag U Turn ang Truck blocking ALL lanes... the only thing I can do is slam on the brakes... medyo kulang ang preno so I considered to turn a little to the right... it will be the 1st lane to be cleared... to my surprise... the trooper skidded and I ended up facing the other way... kala ko tataob! but at least hindi... nag slow down na from the time I slamed on my brakes...

But I still dont get it WHY i turned that way... some of my friends are saying my car's rear end was light (was alone)... and my rear wheels were actually lifting from the road so the ABS was not working to its full potential...

So moral of the story, ABS can only do so much (at least for SUVs with light load)

But im quite sure, ABS will work 100% in a car... medyo questionable ngayon sa akin ang ABS sa SUV.... but still better than none.

Let me know if there are other reasons why I skidded, considering I have ABS... even up to now, Im stumped?!

Iba talaga natutulong ng Full Time 4wd, tataas lang ung gulong na tumama sa tubig then kapit lahat ng gulong na wala sa tubig..galing.

Nangyari sa akin sa EDSA going to NLEX pag lagpas lang ng Royal. Gamit ko yung Toyota Starlet ko. I was running 120KPH then sa may intersection ng sa tapat ata ng Distilleria Lintuaco may bigla ba naman lumabas na owner type jeep at mag ko cross, aba nagulat ako kabig ako bigla sa kanan then brake tapos biglang dumulas yung gulong sa rear left at ayun nag spin ako 360 four times papuntang kanan buti walang bus na dumadaan at that time kundi patay ako! Tumigil lang yung spin ko ng kumalang ako sa gutter. I end up facing to the direction of Munoz. Naginig tuhod ko doon di ko talaga na regain yung control kahit anong bawi ko. Lahat ng mga tao sa gilid natulala din. Wala naman na sira sa car. Buti nalang naka lowered ako kundi baka bumaliktad na. 1997 pa ito nangyari.
