Default wet roads suck

i was gettin off an exit to go to school, and its a 3 turn exit, the first turn is long, and banked the other tun (left) isnt banked at all, and fairly sharp, and very close to the fisrts turn and exit entrance, i took the exit doing 50, since the roads were wet and i didnt have ABS i just naturally slowed down, little or no brakeing, by the2nd turn i was doing abt 35 to 40 (yellow sign said 35 MPH) and my car starts to slide, i know not to hit the brakes, cause my tires will lock up and off i go into the wall, so i just oppisite lock hoping to recover, nope, i still slide furher sideway, until im facing the other direction and i keep the wheel tunrned right, cause if i turned left, im going into the wall, so i stop, revers to k-turn and the trucker in the oppisite lane ask if im OK,i nod, move my car to the side, and look for damage cause i was 90% sure i atleast kissed the wall, i look not even a scratch,


i got really lucky

i kept driving to school with that much more experience,

Glad you didn't get the wall.

At least you've got that experience now, though.
