> i was 17 years old driving my dads sweet 87 v-6 firebird. and it was gonna sleet/rain that night, so my mom told me to take her saturn to work because “it goes better in the bad weather” on my way home from work a guy cut across my lane and i did a lane change to stay away from him. in the process i hydroplaned and hit on coming traffic. 45 mph southbound into 45mph northbound… all because my moms rear tires were 0/32 and i didnt know it because i never drove her car. now i scares me to death to ride on bald tires… expectially in the rain.

yeah man, i had bald tires in the back of my car, went around a bend in the rain and my car didnt stop turning, i counter steered, and i was sliding sideways into oncomming traffic

thankfully im not an idiot and i was able to get control of the car without spinning it or hitting the traffic

i drove home doing like 10mph below the speed limit, scared me to death
