We were coming back from Deer park after buying my GF a corolla CSI 1992 model.. I was leading the way and she was in her car...
We were merging into the middle lane as the left lane was ending, now there was someone on the middle lane but yeah my girl friend was trying to merge so the middle person gave us a bit of room but barely enough, so she started merging and yeah suddenly the gap had closed up between the middle lane car a lot more than she thought and as a result my girl friend had to swerve left to avoid the car that was too close... They didn't give my girl friend ANY room to merge...
As a result my girl friend had to swerve as not to hit the car on the right, and unfortunately got into a bit of a lost traction situation, I was telling her about the scandinavian flick techniques before, and suprisingly in this situation she used what i told her to make the situation a lot worse.. Once she had turned left to sverve the surface was quite uneven and the car sverved right, and then left onto the grass... she did brilliantly to get out of the situation, In my rear view i could see the car swerve left and then countersteer right so she wouldn't spin out...
This was done at about 60-70kms an hour so I'm really proud of her..
Once i saw her on the grass i turned off the road and make sure she was ok, i've never been more scared in my life.. i thought something really bad had happened.. I've never run faster to her car from where i parked in my life... Lets just say i'm glad shes ok.
She had only driven the car 10 mins and hadn't drove in 1 year since, so she managed quite well hehe...
Interestin story...
