in a mates car with another mate and he misjudged a sharp bend in some country lanes!! his car (106) went up the bank on the side of the thin roads, and the car flipped over onto the roof!! I was sat in the front passenger seat and my other mate was in the back, the car rolled onto my side and then onto roof, windscreen smashed, car total write off, bits of bumper in the hedge, roof caved in a bit!! It was pretty scary!!

All 3 of us were hanging there strapped in by our belts and once the car stopped we all undid our belts and hit the roof, thankfully and i dont know how all three of us only suffered a couple of bruises, lucky i guess!!

Pretty scary experience, car was left across the whole lane on its roof, will get pics up as soon as i have them as on mates phone!!

just thought i would share my experience!!

Good to hear noone was injured but tell your mate to think about others when driving too fast because its one thing killing youtself by driving like an idiot but killing your mates and having to live with their death is something else.

I'm glad your all alright and, as Rob said, no other vehicle involved so no further damage done to anyone else either.

I rolled a car many years ago (about 23 I think) and still can break out in a sweat when I drive around that same corner. It's a scary experience. Strange thing is I only recall certain things, impressions really. Like suddenly thinking what is the grass doing on my roof?

The seat belt saved me, it sounds as if you too were all sensibly enough to "belt up" even the one in the back. I suspect you owe your lack of injury to that.

You may find you ache a bit in a few days.

Hope he was insured fully comp
