That's what happen to me... phobia.... My tiger involve in quite a lot of accident, but the accident is not becuase I was actually driving very fast, BUT idue to poor road anticipation, still driving slower help, but anticipation is very important. My accident was cause by wet roads, or traffic jam after a corner, somemore view blocked by the left car, and you know, jam always starts at the RIGHT lane. My previous tiger is 1.3L with rear drum brakes and no abs. I've experience wheel lock few times, mostly (if not all) during wet road.
How crazt I am? I use to overtake a real Satria GTi on corners with my 1.3L tiger, cheap tyre and cheap rims. There was once a modded wira chase up to me in straights very fast but unable to overtake me in a corner, then he chase me back in straights, drive between my sides and 'vrooom vrooom'... That time I really got scared, maybe I p*ssed him off... at traffic light, he stop beside me instead of going in front which is empty, then he 'horn' me. I thought this time gone lah.... but yunno what? He ask me if I want to join his racing team? Honestly, I'm scared and I also decline his offer. Before he left, he sort of complements on my car. Surprise to see that the fellar is a nice guy, nowadays, I think many drivers are rude and dangerous.
Anyway, during my early years, I'm really crazy and daring, but not those that zig zag, just daring to take on corners extremely fast and dangerous. I was lucky that I didn't get injured actually... or injure anyone...
Always drive with anticipation, especially in the streets, you never know when a car will suddenly fly out the road, or a motorbike will suddenly fly out from nowhere out of a sudden, or the car in front of you will skid or loose control, or there is animal jump out, etc.
