Driving cautiously now

I've never experienced anything like it before! I turned left out of a parking lot and felt the bed of my truck get a mind of it's own. I remembered you're supposed to steer into the slide, but it was happening so fast, I didn't know which way my wheels were pointing to begin with. I steered left - I saw trees. I really thought I was going to turn all the way around. I steered right - I saw a curb. Control found me again.

My heart was pounding! I proceeded ahead at about 5 miles per hour, then pulled off to the side. I looked first at my tires, then I stood and breathed. What just happened? It was not icy today, but it had rained this morning. I suspect I might have hit a slick oil spot just right. The light had just turned green, and there was only one person behind me, and luckily they stayed back far enough while my truck was all over the road. I wonder what all the other people sitting at the other light were thinking.

I was leaving school this afternoon when this happened and found myself nervous at every other left turn all the way home. It only took one second for me to lose all confidence in my truck, even though I've been driving it for three years.
