Damn, the roads are fricking slippery!
 

Is it me or are the roads slippery as fuck?
I was driving to work yesterday morning when it was raining really hard. I spun out and did a complete 360 at 70km/h while changing lanes on the Knight st bridge.
I almost shat my pants :eek:

careful driving out there :(

summer tires?

i hope u realize that when it hasnt rained for a long period of time and then does suddenly, all of the oil that has seeped into the road floats on top of the water thus making the roads extremely slippery....its common sense and says it in the icbc new drivers booklet. y do ppl forget how to drive in the rain?

Yeah, I couldn't help spinning the tires going southbound on Boundary Sunday morning.

Decent all-seasons too (BF Goodrich Traction T/A), just that a 940 kg car with only half of that over the rear wheels doesn't provide a lot of traction.

I did a 180 in similar conditions several months back at that little mini-Laguna-Seca corkscrew at Sea Island going onto the Arthur Lang bridge.

yup i almost fucking crash into the wall this morning

wat the fucking hell


turning 90 degree turn at 30km, semi accelerating thru the corners and i was going 45 degree sideway, was like WTF man

coming home off work, jesus the roads are fucking slippery. I was mad slipping till 3rd gear

even off the line at 2000rpm first gear i have no traction all the way up to 5000rpm till 3rd gear...cant accelerate shit, had to use 2nd gear to start.

piss me off

and this is with decent performance all season with about 90% tread left. Before it rained it was never this slippery, today is just absolutely a nightmare to drive

FUCKING HELL!!!

constantly raining like in october is different than hasnt rain in a month.


When it constantly rain i can still launch, today? i cant even start first gear properly unless i do it like a turtle...which aint my style
0-60 takes wat? 12 seconds?

haha I just bought new SPTs, they're okay in the wet, but i notice a bit more wheel hop today, like violent wheel hop XD, i didn't know i had that kind of power. I've just been driving slow though, not like my car can go fast neways...

you just suck at driving

i dunno, i had SPT before, and i find them pretty slippery in the rain if i wonna push it

launch nor cornering...

Traction Control On.

lol, and this is in a fwd honda? For the safety of everyone else, please stay off the road

Traction Control off

me HEART today's road conditions.

Yes I drive RWD, why would you ask?

hey RWD will slide out and fish tail just as bad, drifting all over the place



needs AWD in this case

drifting is so much fun I don't care.

LOL, you guys need some better tires and some much better driving skills.

my tires are bald and i turn just fine unlesssss i rip that shit! LOL drifttt

AWD and Traction control have their limitations especially since it is the tires loosing adhesion due to loose stuff and dried up oil patches..

Give it a few days of constant rain.. the road will improve.

if you guys were slipping and sliding everywhere, you suck at driving.

i have rwd and i didn't have any problems. lots of rain after a long period without requires more caution. quit driving like a retard.

holy hell some today making a left turn looped his jetta right in front of me on king ed. he wasn't even going that fast... went through one of the big puddles and the next thing i see is the car spinning out :o

You guys need to improve your car control skills. I am driving on bald rear tires with over 400ftlb of torque and traction control off and I have no problem.

Your commute clearly does not include turning right onto Hastings eastbound from Boundary.

Maybe you should invest in chains, watch a sudden boom in chain sales so people can put them on their cars for freak unprecedent rain falls like this

i have no problem driving my foxbody mustang. It has no ABS, summer tires, tons of torque.

How the hell do you spin FWD?

Be an idiot and drive like an idiot. Take corners at the limit and lift mid-corner. Yah, that's the ticket.

Driving RWD in conditions like today isn't too difficult. Just quit dreaming of truly aggressive corner exits and you'll be fine.
