I know lots of people have had this problem but not quite the same :tt2:

 

Driving down to a round-a-bout so slowed and changed down into 4th gear,road wet so fourth is good for keeping reasonable grip. Or so i thought!

Got half way round the round-a-bout and wham! lost traction on rear wheels.

Wheels spinning an rear end kicks way out, so much so had to use lots of opposite lock to try and correct it!:scared::scared:

 

My poor :asshole: was twitching like a rabbits nose!! Thought it might even chew a hole in the seat!!

 

Now i can hear you all saying "yeah we all done this" "Zeds are always kicking out". But i wasn't in a zed!!

I was driving an 18tonne DAF lorry!! And i certainly wouldn't recommend anybody trying this!!!:oops::oops::scared::scared:

 

just thought i would share lol

crikey! would have put the shits up me¬! you rescue it ok?

Foooooooooooooooooooooooooook :scared:

Classic :lol::lol::lol:

Ugh Mark, that sounds scary as!! MY zed did this to me last weekend, can honestly say I am driving VERY differently this week despite that it was dry last week and I was going slowly. Cant imagine how scary that was!!!

4th sounds a highgear for a round about.......tho does these trucks not have like 16gears?

no mines just a 6 speed box mate

Surely 4th gear must have been pritty quick for a roundabout?

Atleast nobody was hurt tho dude!

im sure he wasnt going fast in that gear, but only selected it as there would..or 'should' be less of chance it getting tail happy. i was reading i thought man thats bad i dont want it to be me next then i saw the 18tonne lorry and i swallowed quite hard!

i'm guessing when you say "18ton" you had a trailor aswell as the unit. Lucky bloke to save it! Must take some skill to correct a sliding trailor!
