Just had my first accident in 8 years of driving, on my way to work as normal on the lanes, went round a corner and seen signs for 10mph I was doing about 55mph at this time, the reason being for the 10mph signs is they are re-laying the road with stones, put my foot on the brake to slow down and the car reacted like it was on ice and started sliding sideways, I literally had no control, went into a ditch and smashed the front end up, I'll post pics when I'm sorted
And look who turned up 2 mins after the crash! Sweepers to get the stones off the road!!!
And a last parting shot

ahhh gutted man, did my old 1.4 in early this year. was out with friends going to a doo, went round a corner and bam black ice straight into a wall. took me well by supprise. if ppl start giving ya s**te like they did with me jus tell em to f-off lol 
Ive hit that new layed stuff at 70 before and spent about a mile going sideyways before gaining control again. slippery stuff. Surely they should have put the signs a bit further up t'road. might be able to complain bout that one.

I was moaning to someone at work yesterday about these kind of road repairs.
Least you were able to get out the car and walk away.
Any signs before the 10mph one?

Passenger side airbag went off? And there were other signs for 40, when I seen the 10mph one I let go of the accelerator and was gonna coast til I got to a lower speed, but as soon as I hit the stones they were kicking up everywhere and I though fook that I clean this car way too much to be hit with stone chips so pressed the brakes, and the rest is history!! Gonna try and upload a quick pic now
