Just about wrecked...

Well....the roads look a lot less slippery than they really are....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] Today on my way to my first class@11...i'm late as usual, so i'm pushing it a bit. Well, the road goes straight and then curves pretty sharply to the left and directly after the curve there is a crosswalk, right? So yeah...i'm gaining a little bit on the car ahead of me as i start running through the curve, so i start breaking a bit...JUST as a goddamn pedestrian decides to push the crosswalk button and everyone else SLAMS on the breaks. Well i'm already going faster than everyone so i jam on the breaks harder....****! Lose grip just as i'm about midway through the corner, so not only am i skidding, i'm ploughing into the next lane where this big f*cking flatbed truck is waiting to decapitate me. So i let off the break a bit to get control back, car pulls back into the lane. DAMNIT!! NOT GOING TO STOP ON TIME!!! Slam on the breaks again....start ploughing into the next lane again. So this repeats itself about 4 times as i crabwalk through the corner and stop like 0.00000000001 mm from the car ahead and the same difference from the pig truck beside me.

That sucked.

And i was making fun of that girl that 360'd ahead of me on monday....

Ooops....

Damn...thats soooo crazy man. The pedestrians probably shat themselves.....[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Nice work pulling out of it with no accidents though... What did you do afterwards? I just yelled out "F*CK!!!" so loud....but then i talk to myself a lot when i'm driving...heh. We better drive more carefully on the ice or we're going to have to call ourselves the 780Write-offs instead of 780Imports...lol [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

Dam man Pedestrians pop out of no where...

i went to Korea last year.. and its f*kin crzy there.. it's like cars and buses Before predestrians.. so if a person crossing the road (j-walking or w/o looking out for cars) gets Hit they have to pay for the damage on the veichle.. crzy!
