The joys of traction control! It can get annoying at times, but in situations like this, can be a life saver.

It can happen in the blink of an eye. A few years back I was driving on an undivided 4 lane road that was a sweeping curve. It was raining and I was traveling approximately 50 MPH. A little bump in the road and both rear tires unloaded and the rear swung around 90 degrees. I flicked the wheel and took my hands off it for a split second to rotate the car around 210 degrees and grabbed the wheel again. Now I was driving in reverse at about 40 MPH, gritted my teeth preparing for an impact and applied the brakes. I came to a stop on the opposite shoulder with no damage. I am very lucky there was nobody in the oncoming lane. The guy behind me probably loaded his drawers when he saw me rotate around. If I hadn't had lots of training, that car could have gotten away from me in a heartbeat. There were huge Ficus trees and a lake on one side, possible oncoming traffic on the other and large Ficus trees on the opposite shoulder. These cars can bite the owner in a split second. I would suggest a stunt driving and high speed handling course for anyone that owns one of these. It has saved my butt a few times.
