Also a bit of trivia: roads don't have to be under standing water to be slick. The slickest conditions (outside of ice) are generally just-moist roads at the beginning of a rain fall after dry weather. This happens because grease and oil have had a chance to dry on the road surface, and when rain starts, it brings the slick stuff to the surface. After a while, that washes away.

stfu. everyone who wasn't there knows what the conditions were better than him!!

I didn't say that this was how the roads were. I was just responding to the idea that "because the roads weren't flooding with water, conditions couldn't be slick."

NO you broke the rules. you are only allowed to comment about how you know what he should have done and how, despite not being there, the conditions were definitely BETTER than what they actually were....

Yeah, you're right. And if I were him, I probably would have paused at that one stop sign a little longer. I think a cop nearly pulled him over. And that shirt he was wearing. God, what was he thinking this close to labor day?

He should have just done the rewind button. When i crash in forza three i just hit the back button and i can take the turn again.

Ouch! Sorry to hear. Good thing you're ok. Did you get a ticket? Here in Arizona, they would have cited you for sure : /

Maybe some car control classes are in order. You said you sort of panicked because you hadn't experienced the rear end coming 'round before... With experience, you'll learn how to drive through things like this.

Hey, Urban dictionary has an entry for it, so it must exist, just like space docking (nsfw)

Elvis@Vossen · 08-08-2011, 05:23 PM

Damn that sucks man, good thing it wasn't too much damage to you or the car.

KingZee · 08-08-2011, 05:25 PM

Sorry to hear that man. I've had a couple of stupid fender benders from others hitting me. The car doesn't look too bad, a good shop should be able to put it back to new condition.

It's impossible for him to have had VDC on. It's a safety feature, remember? Nobody has ever lost control of a car that had VDC on!
