Certainly being involved in a crash is a horrible experience. Your car is damaged (maybe turned into a salvaged vehicle), you may suffer personal injury (or even worse, cause personal injury to others), and the experience can be devastating. It gets even worse when you report this and get flamed on a public forum.

I’m certain that those who experience this learn a lesson, and they become much better and more conservative drivers.

abs will go crazy whenever the wheels lock up and on ice it doesnt take much for them to do so. having your foot even placed on the brake will cause abs to start goin nuts on a sheet of ice and snow. when i say, less extreme angle, that doesnt mean it was at an extreme angle to start with, it simply means that i put it at a LESS extreme angle meaning not turned as much (which doesnt imply that it was turned an extreme amount to start with). i dont doubt that you know alot about snow driving because of where your from, but i also know that im a delivery driver and i deliver in largly undeveloped areas that dont get plowed and are very poorly kept. i drive all day every day all winter in that environment, and not to say that im better or worse than you are, but im no newb to snow. the oversteer attempt is not rediculous, in fact it's a pretty common way to correct understeer and comes in handy quite often when the front wheels dont grip. that's usually how i do most turns in the z on snow because the front tires tend to slide extremely easy, kicking the tail out a little causes the car to turn, and altho i usually only do that when i plan to make the turn that way, i mentioned that in this particular case, it was used at the last second when it became clear that the car was going to hit the curb and it was probably the last thing left to do.

like i said, you werent there, props to you for driving in canada, but dont think that i know nothing about snow driving, and dont think that i didnt know what i was doing in this situation. i may have hit the curb but i nearly managed to avoid it. ice+350z=bad situation as we all know and i did everything i could

 

^^ I agree with you, and I've experienced the conditions you describe. Many of the readers here never see or drive in these circumstances and may not understand those challenges. Snow and ice make driving very difficult no matter what vehicle you drive. You obviously understand this.

I took my driving test on sheet ice. I drove in the snow and ice for *years* without any problems. I've had my Z out in the snow and ice -- but I was smart enough to put all-season tires on it before I tried to do that. Plus, I realize that the posted limit is for dry roads, no wind, and during the daytime.

 

how my z get hit park when i am eatting pizza is that **** up

 

by the way i hat g35

 

"hat"?? ...Would that be "hate," or "have"?
