Today on our way to Montréal, I lost control of the car for a few seconds.

We started veering right first, I overcorrected so we swerved left into an oncoming vehicle, and then back into our lane, before I managed to gain control. The car up ahead was far enough that I believe either would have had a chance to stop before a potential head on collision. This probably lasted less than 10 seconds but felt like an eternity.

The overnight snowfall had not been cleared yet on that road, which I believe caused the car to lose traction first on the right wheels (which is probably why we veered into the side of the road initially). I should have entered the road at a lower speed and kept it low, and kept the car closer to the center and highest part of the road.

In the end it was all a big scare and a big humbling experience for me that I am grateful did not end in tragedy. 🙏😮‍💨

Oof that's scary! I lost control of the car while driving on Florida highways after a heavy local rainfall. Took prob a couple of seconds before I gained back control of the vehicle but it felt like it took forever!

Glad you managed to get control again. It’s extra scary not knowing if one will be able to pull through. 🙏
