Title: Oh Dear Post by: smithy69 on February 24, 2007, 01:12:11 PM I was driving to work this morning into Norwich, when someone going round a roundabout cut me up, leaving me no choice but to swerve.I ended up doing 4x 360 degree spins before hitting the central reservation, facing the wrong way.
The car was a complete write off, and due to my neck they had to cut the roof off. Have just spent 4 hours strapped to a neck board, and spinal board. Am now sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. Title: Re: Oh Dear Post by: thetank on February 24, 2007, 01:16:15 PM Never a dull day day eh?
Hope there's nothing permament, take it easy man. Title: Re: Oh Dear Post by: Tonji on February 24, 2007, 01:18:12 PM Sounds Nasty, but thankfully you've survived. Take it easy Smithy, & get well soon.

Title: Re: Oh Dear Post by: byronkincaid on February 24, 2007, 01:24:52 PM Hope ur OK man. How fast were you going to spin 4 times? I used to spin my old mark 2 escort a bit years ago being a bit of a boy racer. I had skinny tires and I'd say at 40mph I'd get one ish 360. To spin 4 times with modern tires you must have been going real fast and you were going round a roundabout? What car did you have? Sounds like if you had a 4x4 you woulda rolled it. Sounds like even tho it doesn't seem like it now you got pretty lucky.
take care Title: Re: Oh Dear Post by: smithy69 on February 24, 2007, 01:31:46 PM i was driving a rear drive bmw. Literally i was doing no more than 35mph as it is a huge roundabout which fly through at 50 mph plus. It had been raining so was skiddy, and as we came back from the hospital their is a car in exactly the same position as mine - facing the wrong way , with the central reservation damaged.
I swerved just coming off the roundabout, and ended up about 60/70 yards further on, thank god there was no one else driving behind Title: Re: Oh Dear Post by: ACE2M on February 24, 2007, 01:51:29 PM jesus. at least your alright mate.
