I was heading up the Clanagh road on my way towards Sulby going to work and hit a patch of black ice and skidded and smushed the passenger side of my car into the wall of a bridge, scraped along it and skidded across the other side of the road and landed in a ditch wrapped round a tree with a ledge of like 30cms to battle my way out of as there was a big drop into a field/river there, my car filled with smoke and my passenger door was too smushed for me to open it

Did you get hurt?
I know the feeling of stacking a car, it's horrible.

Nope, not even a bruise, i wasn't going fast or anything. hit the ice quite a bit in front of the bridge so seen it all coming, just screamed then hit the wall as i couldnt control it, nothing i could do, was more bothered about my car than myself, still waiting to hear if its a write off or not! i couldnt bear to look at it but when everyone came to rescue me i heard one of the guys saying driveshaft, wishbone, suspension and wheel all looking screwed on the passenger side, wheel was pretty much hanging off

 Thats terrible! at least you werent hurt though! The roads have been really bad reccently- came across a civic type r crash the other day... Sounds like it may be a write-off, but at least the insurance will cover it. ///AMG MERCINATOR wrote:Damm french cars, atleast with RWD or AWD you could of powererd your way out.

Powered your way out? Your age & driving experience clearly show....
I reject your reality & substitute my own..

Powering out on Sheet ice just isnt going to work. I have tried and tested the theory in a 4wd vehicle. Another one bits the dust? What a heartless thing to say when soemone has just lost their pride and joy! If you actually want to become a valued member of this community I suggest you change your attitude.

Ohh woops my mistake people drive around with summer tryes in winter, & winter tryes in summer. Im not a knob, just not as thick as the rest of you. Ohh and powering out of ice is easy if your ready & taking it easy. I think considering my driving experience & my passion for cars, im a great driver. Lewis Hamilton was 17-18. Its common sense, thats why britain is going down the s**t! No one has any! Under inflate your tryes, keep in high or low gears depending on conditions & have a ball! I love how tightly bound every asswipe is on here.
