My first accident Sad

Happened on a road near my house... driving along (carefully cause of the rain!) when suddenly the steering wheel spins to the right. Car started sliding head on towards a huge tree. I tried to correct it, ended up slaloming down the road, just couldn't get it under control.

What I remember is going sideways of the road, the car tipping to the left, hitting something (which I assume was a tree/trees) and bouncing back up onto the road.

So yeah... what annoys me most is that I could probably accept it if I was driving quickly/dangerously/stupidly, but I was actually taking my time plodding along.

Bad day Sad

I've got no idea to be honest, I went back up and couldn't find anything in the road... my guess is that it was a branch or rock that I didn't spot and when I hit it it chucked it away... but like I say, I really have no idea!

Hmm... aqua planing could be possible... now you mention it I suppose if I was turning the wheel a bit at the time it could suddenly go... I'm not sure whether it was like that or it was torn away from me.

I do feel very lucky to walk away after I was heading towards a tree... thing is it's a car that me and my mum share, meaning we need a replacement soon so she can go to work :/

Too much to claim on insurance, with a £500 excess, so I'm thinking of breaking it, engine still runs fine, my dad drove it to a friend's house nearby, bumpers seem to be intact, front end and driver side seem fine, so might be able to get some pennies back on it

Gutting, never nice to see but always good to hear that everyone was ok lookslike alot of it survived just not the biggest part, pretty impressive damage to the roof considering it landed on its wheels.
