My first experience in the snow! :(

[LB197]

So, today is my first experience on driving in snow and well .... in the first 10 minutes i slide into a curb at the bottom of my road. My wheel trim explodes into at least 30 pieces and i get a bent rim, should just be a bend out job. Lucky (for now) i cant see anything broken behind the wheel such as CV joint or driveshaft so fingers crossed. :S

drive to the condition i hear in my head

enough of a thump to have slightly bent a track rod or wishbone that you won't see very easy ........

take it easy out there

As long as you learn from it.

My first time in snow I came off a main road roundabout onto an uncleared side road far too quickly. I just slid straight on and hit the curb. Luckily for me there was no damage. I learned a lesson though.

my first experience in the snow was me sliding into a wall at about 5mph and nothing could stop it from sliding as it was on a downhill going home. happily no damage but a tiny little crack on the bumper

I thought I was going to crash earlier, I was sliding on sheet ice heading towards a brick wall with cars either side, just released the brakes applied them very gently brought it back under control, drama over.

If people didn't panic or try and be a hero these types of crashes wont happen as often.

Get the tracking and alignment checked in case you have bent something

Hahaha sounds like the sort of thing my dad would think if i came back with a bent up wheel. Parents will never believe you when you say "it wasnt my fault!"
