I was heading down fairmont pky this morning after picking my son up from school and a semi pulling on to fairmont was coming out wide then went into the right lane and then again in the left lane cutting me off i started to brake and spun out of control make 2 rounds of 360 on Fairmont and landed in a drive to a buisness. Thank god i had control of my car cause it would have been a grousome outcome. I was shakin, scared, and felt a rush at the same time. I hate semi's!

Doesn't seem like you had control. How fast do you have to be going to bust (2) 360's?

i have no clue how i did it my son said my car turned completely around twice. I only put a small dent in the rim. I did lose control but i stayed as calm as i could to get the car to a final stop...my hubby said that anytime i get in a bind to stay calm. It was the semi's fault.
