The last ticket I had (that stuck) was in 1993. Haven’t had a ticket stick since then (was issued, then dismissed). However, today was another story: Was on-call today - and got called in with the rain. Probably hydroplaned coming off the on-ramp & wound up fishtailing. The ramp went from dry at the top of the curve to wet at the bottom. I had the traction control on, but it didn’t engage. Also, I’ve been running on my stock tires, which are pretty worn now (maybe 1/8th inch tread) Anyhow, I tagged the guardrail on 490 West, then ended up facing the wrong way. Good thing there was no traffic. Engine never died, and I just turned around and got off at the next exit. Got home, changed cars & went back to work. Here’s the aftermath: ![http://static.flickr.com/69/226389305_c4ba30b74e.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/69/226389305_c4ba30b74e.jpg) ![http://static.flickr.com/68/226389404_f9d2bad02f.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/68/226389404_f9d2bad02f.jpg) ![http://static.flickr.com/84/226389467_db48bbc178.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/84/226389467_db48bbc178.jpg) ![http://static.flickr.com/79/226391842_6dc56f464f.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/79/226391842_6dc56f464f.jpg) ![http://static.flickr.com/98/226391750_6a406d3f21.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/98/226391750_6a406d3f21.jpg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lets-see-how-many-bad-drivers-we-have/16561)._
