Probably closest ive ever came to crashing, its been raining all day up here and roads are very wet.....well I was going down the M9 about 80/90odds hit some water and the front lifted up (aquaplained) the rear wheels being AWD gripped and tried to catch up the front causing me to drift right into the hard sholder then the other way towards the middle lane.....fuck knows how I never hit anything but after a bit of fish tailing from side to side I had to stop on hard sholder and start breathing again....fookin minced myself
So watch out for water on the roads people
