Slightly unrelated but I crashed my old BMW into 3 trees on the other side of the road and ended up facing the wrong way, at 30mph and I was driving like miss daisy.

Not getting into it tbh, I wasn't there and unlike some certainly couldn't say for certain he was driving like a ****! Maybe he was, but if he wasn't that is all you need to read after just writing off your car!!!!

where is the corner you speak of?

as the front of the car would be facing towards the middle of the road if it was behind the camera man.. and the corner where the cop is at is pretty far away on the other end... lol

feels like cluedo

All, you never been travelling at 20mph on snow/ice pressed the break and just slid faster then you were travelling?
I've been going down a hill that was crazy icey. I worked down all of the gears until i hit a corner. Well I went right through the bush.

good to hear you had a lucky escsape and if you can show the new bits to the insurance it might help with the pay out.

*Can I say I was in the boot? I need some £££ joke.

Doesn't matter how fast he was going, he basically just wrote off his car. Thankfully you're ok, take a bit more care next time it's icy.

I rolled my old celica at just under 30 after I hit a kerb then a post, so it doesn't take much. I think even if the op wasn't doing 15-20mph I very much doubt his eye was on the speedo at the time, and to say he was driving like a t*at, unless u were at the road side at the time it happend I don't see how u can pass that sort of comment. How about just stepping off your pedestal for a moment and saying your just thankful all involved were ok. Life is hard enough without people putting the boot in when it throws you a curve ball.

+1 i had p6000 on my type r when i first got it, worst tyres i've ever had on a car, god dam awful, and if the falken were less then 500 miles old they would not be much use either.

Perfect example of why not to have different tyres front and rear.

Winter tyres for the win.

Glad your ok, i'll not comment on your driving as i'm sure you have just learned your lesson, but 15,20mph and 5 rolls pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
