I was in a major crash last night..
I was coming back from my friend's house who just lives 2 seconds away from me but I decided to go on my usual little drive before I head home. I headed onto the dual carriageway and was going bout 50mph and was slowing down as I came to the roundabout as I knew there was roadworks etc and the road gets narrower due to all the cones. So I head around the roundabout and just as I am leaving it my car backend totally spins out and my car slides sideways, so me not knwoing what to do and being very inexperienced pull the steering wheel the other way and I go smashing into a lamppost.
It may not sound like a lot, but it was, and I thought my life was over 
I can remember looking up and realising that I'm lying on the ground with my lip and nose cut and some people picking me up.
I'm okay, got a cut lip and a lot of whiplast with a concussion to deal with.
My car hit the lampost at the side, where the right head light is.. totally smashed up, I hope it's not a write off..
While I waited on my dad coming and the police a car came round the roundabout and nearly did the exact same thing, but it managed to keep control.
Just thought I'd share with you guys. I had to be the single most scariest event I have ever been involved in my life.
