The 16v saved my life!!
« on: 23 March 2009, 14:46 »
Right its 10 am and im on my daily motorway trek..

m25, in the fast lane doing 80mph with a series of cars infront of me all at the same pace..

Out of the blue the 2nd car infront of me, veers sharply to the right and smacks the barrier and comes back into the lane, hits the car infront of me, spins to the middle hits a van and spins past me towards the slowlane where it hits another car and stops at the hard shoulder!  :shocked:

Now it felt like slow motion but in the process of this happening, i actually dodged 2 cars, one infront of me and the crazy spinning car that came to me! Seriously, praise to the valver for its rabbit like agility!! :smiley:

p.s no one was injured (but i was 10 mins late getting into work)  :grin:

I was about to also say it goes to show - never drive close because you never know what crazy stuff might happen!
