50 in the rain is only bad if you are going into a turn. Under is NOT your friend ;)

...are you joking? If you lose traction, the worst thing you can possibly do is pull the e-brake, followed in a close second by smashing the brakes.

When you lose traction, take your feet away from the brake and turn your wheels in the opposite direction of the spin. In a MT car, engage the clutch and let the engine slow you down some (the tires won't move freely, like they would in neutral). The tires will (hopefull!) catch again, and get back on track. Hitting the brakes will cause the tires to lock up and skid even farther.

Unless, of course, you're drifting. :D

The "anyone" you refer to are the useless bags of flesh who cut us off, or do ten under while in the passing lane, or have never looked before turning, hit the brakes for no good reason, talk on the cell phone while stuffing a burger in their face and so on. They do give em to anyone, and we are all in great danger because of it. BTW, if "driving fast" in the rain were so bad, they'd have to outlaw freeways huh? smart fella...


"the useless bags of flesh" you refer to could be your siblings, or mother or father, or maybe an uncle or aunt, maybe even your girlfriend. maybe she can't judge the speed of a car moving 100mph in the rain like mr gung ho badass driver WDRacing. maybe it'll change your mind when mr WD's excellent driving skills fail to cope with your loved one changing lanes in front of him not being able to judge his speed and he kills them on impact :rolleyes . to me, people like WDRacer are the useless bags of flesh, because they are the ones that think they're such good drivers that they're exempt from common sense like slowing down in the rain:mad:
