psdenno Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 'full circle' 180' spinout? Not sure what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 "full circle" would be 360 degrees, would it not? 180 would be half circle (driving east, spin and end up driving west). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwindish Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I was a passenger one night when my daughter had a right rear blowout on Northbound I-55 doing 70-75 mph. The car did 2 360's and a 180, we went from the right northbound lane to the car stopping on the median side shoulder of the left lane facing south. My daughter was 15 at the time, driving on a learner's permit, accumulating the 25 hours driving time required for the initial license. No one was hurt and no damage other than the blown tire, but we did hit rest stop down the road to check our pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
