I skidded before cornering when it was drizzling...the one coming from KL using Jalan Kuching, after passing by
the roundabout above us, there is an exit towards those Government Quarters, That corner quite nice to whack one....

About 70-80 Degrees corner...quite wide la...but it was drizzling la that time.

I usually whack when dry, but usually tyres screeching for sure. So, wanted to test and see how much that stupid
tyres can handle, Whack that corner at around 60 to 70km/h. Skidded, totally cant control at all...my rear skidded
when I hit the brakes

I was saved by the curb when my car finally stopped when 1 of the tyres go over the curb. If not, would skid out of the
road and all I can do is pray that no oncoming cars from behind :afraid:

Ever since then, now I'm trying to overcome the trauma...cuz there is once at Karak, I was driving at 140km/h. It was a
3 lane road. I was at the far right, when reach the corner, i lost my confidence. Stepped on the brake till it became around
100km/h.

Hesitated half way. Just only change new tyres also no confidence...haih...

I usually whack at my familiar spots only. I will try to push until my rears starts to slide. Other unfamiliar areas won't go all out one....
Wah! initially I read you use curb, I thought you learn from taufu sifu, Initial D, but actually safe by the curb....ha! ha!

LOL! Can say quite familiar since I use that road often, just that it was my 1st time trying on wet road (Drizzling almost stop raining), yet just 60km/h consider slow adi at that corner...usually dry i went at around 80 - 90km/h.

So, ever since then, never dare try when is wet. My friend got skidded there once too at 60km/h but it was dry at that time...so find it weird, I said i usually use that corner also not too bad, just
tyre screeching. Guess I shouldn't say something that shouldn't have said.

There is a warning sign, "AWAS, Kurangkan Laju" After that accident, I can see some of the curbs also broken adi. Guess I was not the 1st.

I don't know how to use the Initial D Long Kang cornering yet...our long kang in malaysia quite deep...dare not try

See if i got chance to take a photo of that corner...

I dont know about old toll plazas but I think toll plazas are a good thing. Helps to maintain very good road condition in Malaysia....

Seriously you guys are all so fortunate to live in MY. Cars are cheap, road tax is cheap, roads are good also. Look at NSHW. ITs so well paved, so smooth, just plain AWESOME......

Look at Singapore roads. SUPER SUCKY.... Super bumpy, expressways so worn out. Hell lots of traffic lights and no system at all. Terrible. And jam like mad all the time. Yet, road tax so high and still got to pay toll aka ERP.......

Seriously I like MY roads more than SG roads.

Yes and No. Not to say whether it does not need maintenance, but some are long overdue to be removed like the Federal Highway tolls. You get stuck just to pay the toll, and then get stuck in traffic.
You pay toll for convenience, so should not get stuck in traffic....
My brother who has migrated to Ohzi, one time came back few years ago, asked what is the new route LDP, so I told him is a new highway. He answered how can they can that a highway, it is almost jam 24 hours.....hahahahahahaha
