THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN NOVATO, CA MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM THE IGNACIO BLVD BRIDGE OVER 101N TO NAVE DR. AFTER A RAIN THE PREVIOUS DAY. WHEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR SLID SLIGHTLY, THE SKID CONTROL TURNED THE WHEELS SHARPLY TO THE LEFT FORCING THE CAR INTO THE LANE TO MY LEFT. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO CAR IN THAT LANE OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

THE 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A HILL AT THE INTERSECTION OF WILLARD & PARNASSUS IN SAN FRANCISCO ON 3/14/14. I HAD MADE A U-TURN TO ENTER A PA
