was behind a lad in a black corsa c going down a narrow country road only doing about 55-60 mph and we were going round a corner and there was a car coming the other was and was half way over the road so he swerved out of the way and loses the back end and flies through a hedge and into loads of trees backwards. i manage to get past the car ok without any problems. i stop down the road and run back to the car. its deep in the bush on its side and the back end resting on a tree. the lad and his girlfriend were ok just shocked and a few cuts. very lucky to be alive  was horrible to watch the car slide and fly sideways through the bush was like watching the wrc cars crash. had to give police a statement and they were really cool about it.

Saw a nutter in a van almost lose it yesterday evening, he was doing about 50mph round a blind corner near a school (to$$er).
Back end slid out (he was already partially sideways when he came round the corner into view - luckily, I was quite a way further down the road), he corrected but over-compensated, and fish-tailed it across a layby and onto the pavement.

no, thats your choice, you dont HAVE to go on your own, you could go under a parent/adult...well aslong as the car is shared.

What insurance they had made no difference to how the crash turned out. If its a genuinely shared car then he had no choice but to go under his mums name, if its his car then he has to hope the insurance company dont look into it!

I use 3 National Speed limit roads to travel to work and back and at least twice a week their is always a crash  Their was one this morning with one car on it's roof and the other all the drivers side smashed in. Also one yesterday were 3 cars had gone into one another. People really do need to take a little more care when driving at speeds
