It happens. I crashed a car at 19 because the rear end got away from me while driving in a straight line. It had just started raining and the road was greasy. I come up on an asian chick in front of me who was driving like an old lady, I gas it for a legal pass and the stupid slush box automatic kicks down to 1st gear and then chirps 2nd as I get along side her. At that point things started to go wrong. The rear starts getting loose and all of a sudden I have a very intimate view of the drivers door of the other car. I madly correct with opposite lock and the car starts to come back the other way but I didn't get the steering unwound fast enough and I spin in the opposite direction collecting the nearest tree and a curb. Mind you I had crappy skinny bald tires on this big chunk of tin, but the real problem was that it just caught me off guard when I wasn't prepared. That is why there is VDC these days.
