So I ran wider then normal found the gravel that sits on the tarmac but not off the road surface. WHich became a tightish corner where the corner build up of crap was deeper. Locked up both left hand side tyres in the crap, went sideways , and after a short slide at an angle the left rear stopped moving as it went into the graded drain ditch berm at the side of the road which rotated the whole car with momentum and upside down we go!THe rest well its in the pics.....THe actual roll over was low speed, all I got was a cut knuckle from the glass from the windscreen, and the car ended upside down.My failing was brake control when less than optimum surface was available, my reaction was to brake and steer slowly when in the gravel yet my braking force was too much anyway. Then having gone into a skid / slide countersteered (which left really funny marks on the road) just ran out of room. I was travelling about 20 km/h below the posted limit on an unfamiliar road at night (with driving lights on however) at the time of the accident, but honestly mainly because the car wouldn't do the speed limit after the corners and big hill just before :lol: The thing is the car coming the other way stopped and told the police that I was hooning (their words) but fortunately for me the car that was behind me said I wasn't and that the oncoming car failed to move over and forced me wide! Phew! That's about the only accident I've had in my own car or bike. Amazing what you find when you are having a new years clean up!Long post sorry!

Good old Festy kept ya in 1 piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The car was upside down at the time):-) lived on that line for the next little while! Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
