Nothing important, just some thoughts

I can now say I am the shittiest driver in the world...

Today took my old camry to service and organized a test drive with the new camry (they gave some crappy 2.4L one thought) Took it anyway, and decided to go to the Monarto zoo (70km from city) with my girlfriend.

On the way there, I was just driving like 120kph on the highway... almost overtaking all the time with this other car... and yes I was in the O/T lane... until all of a sudden the car in front pulled to the left, and there's a dead koala on the road. I react like a wuss and swerved a little... traction on the FWD was lost temporarily, but I swear I almost pissed myself... yes laugh... but I just want to give a word of advice, always try to leave a distance so that you can see well ahead of you.

Later on, leaving the freeway to the monarto exit. I saw the "Reduce speed" sign alright.. so started to brake. Okay... the speed "felt" very slow.... but as I approach the end of the exit... I realise I was still at 80.... but I had to turn... so I braked.... and the wheels lock.... and skidded for about 10metres.... can will my faeces urging to rush out.... another advice, on highway/freeway exits watch your speeds! in my case, I didn't know how the car would handle. I assume it was like my other old 3L camry... but this one is heavier and no ABS... so I made a deadly mistake not knowing the cars capability.

Four big mistakes in one day.... felt lucky that I am alive.

Most people don't have my problems, but I think I pose an example of how not to drive on highway/freeway. Hope people can learn from my mistakes too.

currently model camary no ABS?

that's a bit......

[Cillham]

yea, always learning

when i drive my mums camary i cant believe how badly it handes, normal speeds around corners make tyres screech

Yeah, I thought all camelry has ABS as well, give that its a family car, but I was able to make the wheels lock easy, or doesn't ABS work well at high speeds? Skidding sideways is fun and scary at the same time for me though....

My mums camry handles alright, rolls a little less than others as its a touring edition, but I also put some avs tyres on them....
