Default oversteer accident at 5mph

turning right at a junction and ns lane stops to let me out nothing coming the other way so i set off and car started steering from the rear pulled on opp lock and carried on straight into other land and a saxos front wing having a look later there was a patch of ice on the road that caused the slide but the front wheels were well off this and it just pushed on all at about 5 mph whilst applying opp lock i held just a touch of power but nothing large all i can think is the back wheels must have lit up and let the turbo spool up going into understeer obviously as with and accident it was all over very fast does anyone have any thaughts on this

I have some thaughts (sic) on this.

1. Learn to write English.
2. Learn to drive.



HTH. Not HtH, OK?

I think he could be right - my back wheels light up at 5mph, when kerb crawling around the docklands.


Opposite lock at 5mph - you are a brave soul and lucky to be here today, bless the lord.

I hope you have learned your lesson and have traded your car for something more suitable.
