How did I do a 360 with my car??

Question

I've owned my car for 5 years and i'm a good driver but every once and a while for fun I go do a 360. My Car is a front wheel drive and in order for me to do a 360 I have to do it in reverse as I do not know how to do a 360 going forward.

There is a winter storm happing right now and I was driving slow under the speed limit which is 50km/h I was going 40km/h and my car did a 360... What would this be caused by? Ice? If so How? cause I've never had this happen in the 5 years I've had this car.

No Actually I posted this question on Behalf of my boyfriend. So read the question and give a proper answer!

Answer 1

I ran across some black ice during a winter storm and going down an interstate on a straight road, all of a sudden the car just started sliding sideways, I cut the wheels and it came on around and I managed to get it straightened out and it was like nothing ever happened. I did slow down a little after that.
I agree it was weird, maybe the slope of the roadway and a gust of wind with the ice did it. Just glad I made it around and saved it.

Answer 2

Did you hit the brake? If you want to do a 360 in this weather, go down a road that isn't used alot or there is no traffic and pull on your emergency brake and turn the wheel. It works!!

Answer 3

You probably pressed the brake and steered ! What that did if so, is it locked your rear tires and the front turning tires made it do the 360 ! Just like if its dry, press on the gas go, turn and punch on your e-brake ! and that will make you do a 360 !

Answer 4

if you braked and shot back, then put it in drive and floored it, it would threesixty. the ice helps reduce friction, so it would be easyer for the car to turn without haveing you brake then go backwords too quickly.

Answer 5

You are a woman so anything can happen when you are behind the wheel.
