the exact same thing happened to me today on very rainy road. i feel like i
handled it the exact same way with my vw golf but it still went off road
and my back right tire had to absorb a pretty nasty hit on a wall. i had to
change the tire but there was no other damage to my surprise. the off road
i went off was actually one of those small cliffs next to roads where
theres a cliff and a wall next to it.
i'm trying to find something to tell me what to do in that situation. if
you handled it the right way i guess i did all i can. i wonder if i should
give it some gas bc i think i took my foot off both pedals. i was also
wondering whether i shouldve steered that much bc generally what you hear
about skidding is not to over steer but just like this i was constantly. my
road was narrower but i guess i wasnt this fast either.
anyways i was feeling like shit bc i thought i was a bad driver
oversteering but reading the comments it makes me feel better that people
were impressed LOL. still though if anyone can enlighten me on whether or
not this driver handled it ideally i would be very happy.
did you even read my comment? it wasnt his fault he started skidding, and
it was difficult for him to catch the car but he still managed to do so why
did you think he pulled over if that was intended? and 3 of my friends got
into an accident and are now in intensive care with severe injuries because
some idiot was speeding but the guy in the video wasnt speeding, you cant
blame him
instead of patting this dump ass on the shoulder, I think the fact that he
is going faster than he should is why I hope he crashes the car. at least
he'd get a lesson out of it. He is passing all the traffic, isn't it a
f***ing clue to slow the f down? this is why the roads are dangerous in the
winter because of ppl like you, endangering my life just so you can be 5
mins faster....
it is so
dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please do not try this who is not highly experienced
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a congratulation who done it
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, he's driving too fast for winter conditions, thinking his Audi can
handle it. And it does...for a while. Then, after skidding, he stops - in
the road - causing people to have to change lanes in slippery conditions.
Then....he accelerates back to his original speed! Hope you're still
breathing dude, and you've gain some sense.
@odmcarp WTF? take a chill pill spruce! He wasn't meant to skid, there was
no influence towards that loss of control, however it was a nice catch,
THIS is the sort of person who prevents crashes! How can you not see that?
Nice driving mate, just out of curiosity, why was you filming it?
@dweiss1 first. hes not only legally required to speed in winter conditions
but its blatantly responsible for him to do so. also clearly hes a super
ultra badass to have saved himself in such a way.. end of story
Nice save! Had myself the same experience just yesterday and was very lucky
to have regained control of my car and not crash, takes both driving skill
and a little luck to save a car from skidding at high speeds.
What a moron! You'd think he'd learn from his lesson, but no.. he speeds
off down the road again. That was natural selection trying to get rid of
his stupid genes from the human race.
It must be a German car thing. I did this on the motorway, in the dry, in a
car I have owned for 5 years. I didn't do so well on the recovery though
lol!
@karabinjr Howdy again, karabinir. I once was sideways with a carload of
band mates at 90kph on a stretch of freeway due to black ice. Never noticed
the altitude change (I was 22) and the wet road, which had been perfectly
normal, became icy for maybe less than 500 meters. When we got over the
mountain pass, it was back to plain old wet, grippy road. But for about 10
seconds the car was like a compass needle swinging to find "North". Happily
I got it back in line.

Controlling a skid: Advice | Consumer Reports
What should you do if your car suddenly goes into a skid? To help teenagers prepare for emergency situations, Consumer Reports hosted a day-long driving ...
@HappyDiscoDeath I don't disagree with the experts at all. If you watch the
video, the professionals control their skids by turning towards the skid
when their back wheels lose traction. So they are correct. The narration is
whats misleading. It implies that if you are trying to go left, and your
back wheels begin to slide, that you should continue to turn the wheel
left. Doing that would cause a spin or loss of traction of all wheels.
Turning briefly towards the skid is the correct advice, not
Her advice to turn in the direction you want to go if your back wheels
begin to skid is patently wrong. That would make you MORE likely to spin
out. You should turn in the direction of the skid to regain traction and
then turn in the direction you want to go. If she watched the Mustang and
Camaro earlier in the vid, she would have seen the drivers of those cars
doing that to control their slides.
"Turning into the skid" is exactly what she means by steering "where you
want to go." If you're oversteering, then you want to turn *less* than the
car is currently turning. So you turn away from the oversteer until the car
straightens out and you straighten the steering--because now the car is
going where you want it to go.
If you are trying to make a left turn and your back wheels begin to slide
out to the right, then the advice of "turn the wheel where you want to go"
would seem to imply continue turning left. Doing this would exacerbate the
slide and maybe cause a spin. This is my problem with the unclear advice.
@ktonkin3 maybe i missed it... she said turn in the direction you want to
go, which to me says keep the front wheels oriented in the line you want to
take... or am i just that much better of a driver than her that my mind
autoproofread it? either way, she needs to learn how to be more clear lol.
@ktonkin3 leave the driving safety stuff to the experts. these guys know
what they're doing, and in comparison, you're looking like some random
person trying to troll the video. it's easy to see the Consumer Reports is
the one to side with, and troll is equal or greater than epic fail.
I was always told to turn into the direction of the skid. Surely this would
make you turn 180 though? When I've had 4 wheel lock ups under heavy
breaking and started to skid, I turned in the opposite direction and
applied throttle to kick the rear back in line.
Darkrider and Drive, I think you're both right, but I just feel like her
instructions are unclear. To someone who's never experienced oversteer, it
might sound like she is suggesting not to alter steering, which could
result in someone getting hurt.
One thing she did not mention at all is liftoff over-steer. The only thing
you can do to correct that is to give the car lots of throttle. Most cases
can't be corrected with steering. Learned that one the hard way.
@GordanMFreeman true, some drivers might know how to handle a skid, but
some don't. that is why they uploaded this video, for the sake of drivers
who don't know how to deal with a skid.
Car skidded at KJE entrance during wet weather on 14 February 2016, around 3.07pm. Please slow down at road bend especially on rainy days. Fitri H. Fazir ...
