I Should Be Dead...

Man, why I'm typing this still alive I don't know. I was involved in an RTA last night on the M11. I, along with the three other occupants of the car survived, unscathed. How, I don't know, I really don't know.

I thought I was going to breathe my last breath whilst the car I was travelling in became embedded in the central reservation with cars hurtling towards us at 70 mph +.

Women drivers.

She panicked. Rather than steer into the skid, she steered away from it. I thought we was going to roll, only the central reservation stopped us.

Apparently we picked up a 6 inch nail in the tyre on the way. Because the back tire was deflated she lost control while she was changing lanes.

Road Traffic Accident. M11 is a motorway. Sorry.

Isn't RTA a little redundant? Where else would you limeys have enough accidents that you had to specify the venue?

Good to hear that you were able to walk away from that.

I take it that everyone were using seatbelts!?!

I agree, but I had to think for a moment before doing so.

I doubt it was a six inch nail but there was a nail in the tyre all the same. Nail = no air.

Why would anyone do that? Steering into it is the instinctive thing to do. The problem is surely oversteering, from not straightening soon enough.
