I did, but once you're skidding, if I hit the brakes I'd have only locked the wheels up, probably making the situation even worse

It must ofbeen aquaplaning. If you hit the break whilst aquaplaning then you will cause more problems. Just good to hear your ok.

Author: the_bowman, Location: Leicestershire (Ashby de la Zouch)Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:27 pm ---- Quick update for anyone interested; popped down to my GP today with shoulder pain, who referred me to hospital because he suspected a broken collar bone from the seatbelt. Fortunately it's only muscle and tissue damage, so I've been told to take it easy for a few weeks
Considering the hefty whack my car took, and what could have been, I think muscle and tissue damage is a very fortunate outcome!
#37: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:56 pm ---- Good to hear nothing more serious happened!
A broken collar bone hurts like hell btw, it's the only bone i've ever broken
At first, you think it's just a little sore.. Give it between half an hour and an hour, and it'll hurt like hell.
Worst thing is, you can't put a cast on it. You'll get a sling for the arm, and that's it...
little question, don't have to answer if you don't want to - how abouts do you plan on going about this regarding insurance?
Report it or just get the cash you can off parts?

#39: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 2:13 pm ---- This is a bit of a pointless thread. nobody has even answered the guys question. But to be honest i think you will have to go the the wholesalers

Yeahh, I mean I was fine when I got out the car, but it got gradually worse as the night went on until I could barely move it this morning!
As for insurance... my excess is £700 so it's not worth claiming on. I've got the car round the back of my house now, so it's time to start dismantling it!

Last thing you want to do is press the brake, its front wheel drive so keeping the power on has more chance of pulling you out of it.
