Had a bit of an eventful day today, first job this morning had to take a car to the M.O.T station dad gives me the keys so I go and find the car. Turns out its an Aston Martin, amazed my dad let me drive it really. Didnt really feel too fast or brilliant, but was a buzz driving through the village in an Aston Martin. Made a nice sound anyway. Anyway here it is
Then later on when I was out on road test in a Corsa, was waiting to turn right into a small country road where i normally turn round on road test. I was stopped in the middle of the road with my indicator on, was just about to turn and had a last check in my mirror saw an old clio flying up behind me must have been doing and 80 M.P.H (road is 60 national speed limit) so i thought for my lifes sake i'd best not turn. He went to overtake then last minute must have noticed i was going to turn so he anchored on the brakes and skidded right past me probably doing about 50 mph still. Anyway he tried to control it but ended up going left boucing off the curb, snaking all over the road then he went off the road and landed in the ditch by the road.
Didnt have a clue what to do then, was expeting the worst. Ran over and the passenger door flung open, car was resting on the drivers side so he had to climb over. He only had a small cut on his head, he was very lucky to be alive. Offered to ring emergancy services, but he didnt want me to so i think he may have been un-insured. Was so wierd to watch him just losing more and more control, was like slow motion.
Anyway bit of an essay but thought i'd share a couple of things that happened to me today
