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. 🙏😮💨
