Hey everyone, I had a scary moment today in my Corolla Altis 2015 1.6 Auto and wanted to share it for some insights. I was doing around 70 km/h while coming out of a turn when a rough patch of road came up suddenly. I applied the brakes while still finishing the turn. As I did that, the car suddenly lost control — it first swung to the right, then to the left. I managed to steer through it and regained control, but it was a heavy fishtail-type swing. The road was uneven, and I think the tire pressure was low (checked later: around 27 PSI). I’m wondering — shouldn’t ABS have prevented the skid? Or did ABS actually help save me from a worse outcome? I now realize I may have braked too hard while turning, and with the rear tires underinflated, that probably led to the rear losing grip. I’d love to hear your thoughts: was this mainly due to braking in a turn on bad road, low tire pressure, or both? And what’s the best way to react if this happens again?
Bal bal bach gaya, shukar hai dono sides par koi nahe tha,
