| Description of the problem | Car swerving out of control: i was driving east on the mass turnpike on a somewhat wet evening, 2/25/18, through mist, when i drove over an area of the highway that had a patched surface. I was gripping the wheel with two hands at 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock. My hands, including my thumbs, were wrapped around the wheel. As the car drove over the slightly uneven surface, it began to swerve, going a bit out of my lane. It swerved 3 times before i was able to regain control. Other cars avoided me, preventing an accident. I am an experienced driver and found this event to be quite unusual. I called my husband right away to express alarm. |
