I need to learn how to drive

The best thing to do is learn from your mistake. Obviously you know your lucky and everyone who was about to hit you was lucky as well. Also, consider your car’s suspension and the fact it has a short wheelbase. Has it been modified appropriately? Just asking because you should match up your suspension with the power your car’s putting down. Many people overlook upgrading their suspension (I’m not saying you did or anything, but many people do). Of course your car might have the proper suspension upgrades I dunno. audios had an excellent idea to auto X your car and/or push it to it’s limits so you have a good idea how it will react. When I look back on what I did, I learned my lesson two months after I got my car. I lost the back end at around 80 MPH and almost slid off the road. Over the last 5 years I put $2,000+ into suspension upgrades instead of doing heads/cam on my car. I’m still happy about that because my bulky f-bod handles awesome now (and is MUCH safer in the turns and all around). Glad your ok & no one was hurt. I bet you scared the shit out of a few people on the thruway.
