I did a 360 spin, smashed into the guardrail protecting me from a 100 foot fall and stopped in the fast lane facing traffic.

I've always wondered why people in California think it's necessary to drive that fast in the rain.

Basic driving tip: when it's raining, SLOW DOWN!!!

Glad you're OK, but I'd slow down if I were you.
