Embarrasing/Near Death Experience
This morning I had a very embarrassing/near death experience. I left for class at 8am this morning and if you weren't up early enough to notice, the streets are still quite wet. Now I have driven in the rain before and after it rained a lot but I've never had the chance to experience the difference in tire traction before.
I was driving westbound on Eglinton av approaching Bathurst st when the light turned yellow (Have I mentioned how much I hate yellow lights), at this point I had 2 choices stop or go through it and this is what went through my mind.
"Fucking yellow light, alright I'm close enough I'll should just go through it."
*looks at oncoming traffic, no one turning left*
*looks at southbound traffic, no one turning right*
*looks at northbound traffic*
"Aww fuck there's a cop right fucking there."
"Mother fuck, no time to engine break"
*Pulls on both brakes*(very bad move by the way)
*Rear tire locks up, rear of my bike starts waving left and right as I skid down Eglinton*
"Fewf, I'm still alive"
*Notices he's in the middle of the intersection*
*Starts rolling his bike back behind the line*
"Hmm I wonder what kind of ticket I'm gonna get"
"Notices the cop car making his left and then a U-turn"
"Light turns green, starts driving.... nothing"
No ticket... but the good thing is I still have all my limbs :D
Level of "Pissing in my pants" = 8/10
