Holy S**t, Cars A Right Off

[Liam_C]

Well went out tonight with a drive with some friends, and came up to a bend and went round the back end slid out and spun out hit a tree then a road sign and rolled the car compleatly mangled, i wasn't even goin that quick maby 55 at most.:wall::wall: No one was badly hurt which was amazing cause the car was mangled. Lying in bed right now still shaking but cant sleep so thought i'd come on and let you know, was rather terrifying only been driving a week.

[Pat_Vts]

repped

[Hannah]

Jesus. Don't sound too good. Least no-one was hurt though. Got any pics of the mess?

[Liam_C]

Nope i might get tomorrow if i have time, was pitch black. Yea forgot to mention done for careless driving for hiting a no dumping sign which im annoyed at.

[Agent-VIP]

was rather terrifying only been driving a week.

Tha't sunfortunate mate =( And, while i'm not doubting your driving ability.. the first month after you pass is the hardest. I almost crashed so many times =(

You manage to get any pics?

Another saxo in saxo heaven =(

[Pat_Vts]

well you were over the limit cos there was alot damage and you rolled must have been some speed for a 1.1 mate no offence

[Liam_C]

Yea well was 60mph speed limit, yea sort of flipped up on to its side cause went in to a ditch knocked over the sign and it acted as a ramp sort of. None taking i realise i was a compleat idiot i swore i'd never put anyones life in danger but it happened as i guess accidents do.

[Pat_Vts]

oh dont worry mate we all have had our mad moments and near misses and not so near

part of life unfortunaley which is prety shite atm

[MrHouston]

55 round a corner after driving for a week?

60 is a limit not a target :p

You learned like me, I wrote my car off the first 2 weeks of driving, just got to get to know the car a bit better

Glad you're okay though, need pics too

[Liam_C]

Was't doing 55 round the corner but slid out just after and was accelerating to early i guess, twat i know just relived no one was hurt for the most part everything went ok.

[Pat_Vts]

i wrote off my first car in 17 days after passing my test

most lads do

hence high ins premiums

[Liam_C]

Ha i still win 7 days, have the feeling this is not the best competition to be winning tho lol.

[Pat_Vts]

na but

if u had more exp u may have avoided the crash such as putting ur clutch back down and steering like fuck and avoiding the objects

its happenend to me twice in the VTR back end coming out, not going to happen in the VTS though im not as reckless as before

[Liam_C]

Did try my hardest but sliding in a really gravely layby isn't even ideal conditions even for that, any way enough of me trying to justify it, whats done is done. No more i can do about it.

[GabbaKid]

My back end slides out all the time and I shit bricks but just steering into it.
The other week It happened to fast to do anything in the rain and I bounced up a curb.

[Goldsax]

i lasted 8months....then flipped my vtr at 55, im getting done for due care next month sometime :@...your not the only one mate...keep ya head up :D

[Ashleyp]

"wasnt even going that fast - about 55"

what speed limit were you in though?

or was it country roads.. in which case imo anyone who puts their foot down on a country road without proper experience of driving / knowledge of the road has no common sence atall

also: pics or it never happend :P

[EH_Fella]

Don't forget, a car full of people could have helped cause the accident - trying to show off, being distracted by everyone talking, not used to the heavier car and altered breaking distance/acceleration required. I remember having a car full of people in my 2l Ibiza for the first time, it was pretty unresponsive to the accelerator - but its one of those things you just have to learn. Alledgedly, a mates' brother wrote his car off the same day he passed his test. There's no proof though, so you might still be winning ;)

[KamRacing]

Front wheel drive cars get power understeer so go too fast and you will go straight into the hedge .
Panic and lift off and you will induce lift off oversteer and you will spin/ enter the hedge sideways or backwards.

[Matty_Mills]

Ha i still win 7 days, have the feeling this is not the best competition to be winning tho lol.

I win.... wrote off my fiesta.........11 hours after my test.
Thats right... not even a day!

But i feel your pain mate.... too fast around a corner in the wet and ended up in a field with the radiator about 5 meters behind me and a mate in the back laughing his head off!

I was lucky though... .didnt tell insurance just registered the car off the road.
Did you tell insurance?

[wallsy]

Sorry to hear that mate, must be shit just after your test aswel.

Least you and your mates came out alright!

[snottybadger]

A lot of new drivers crash mate, take it as a learning experience.

As already said 60 is the limit not a target!

On the day my mate passed he blew his tyre in a petrol station on a kerb then put his mams metro backwards through a hedge.

His Dad is a Chief Inspector for the local fuzz, he told the story by saying "Dad I got a puncture and put the car through a hedge..." his dad just assumed the punture caused the accident. Jammy sod!

Why Would You Be Proud Of That?

[Matty-VTR]

Don't lift off nxt time ;)

[Paul]

Head up son.

Alot of new drivers crash their cars, especially saxo drivers.

Just try buying another saxo and get back on the road. Also if your going to drive with friends in the car and music high etc. Get used to the distractions before you start putting your foot down ;). I've got one mate that's always shouting and pointing at things proper randomly when in the passenger seat.

You'll find that now you've crashed this car, you'll be much more careful with your next :y:

ps.
Pictures please ;)

[Matty_Mills]

Why Would You Be Proud Of That?

Didn't say i was proud bud. Simply replying to his earlier post about being the winner.
Calm down boyo
Its just my sense of humour
Sorry if you dont like it ;)

but i'm not really all that bothered shag

[MK2SLAG]

[Matty_Mills]

[stendog]

[AM4R]

my mate crashed his mums focus 8 hours after passing, exact same thing as you

[rob_s]

unlucky mate


i mashed my door on the gatepost a week after passing if that counts? :P

[Shellz]

Sorry to hear!

I know what you mean about the back end, i haven't passed my Test yet. So i was driving on some private land, i went round a corner about 20 n i felt the back end go out slightly. I pooped my self.

Hope i don't crash! :(

[Ashleyp]

its simple though lol.. if you dont wana crash stick to a realistic speed

[JamesR]

why did u negative rep me? did i say i was trying to get the back end out on public roads? no, i do it at West Sussex skid pan! also i attempt to get the back end out whilst competing in road rallies!! everyone tries to thats the fun of it.

[Ashleyp]

[Chris]

Same as.... christ knows how you managed that in a 1.1...... I could never do it in my 1.0l or my old VTR.... infact I've never managed to get the back end to slip out in any FWD car I've driven...... the only car I have done that in was our MR2 Roadster...... Hmmmmmm, me thinks you must have been going faster than your making out.

Chris :)

[JamesR]

i dont knwo who neg repped me then but the comment was and i quote " twat trying to get back end out" its legal in a skid pan so.... and its not at all dangerous in a skid pan sooo....

[Shellz]

its simple though lol.. if you dont wana crash stick to a realistic speed

If your post is regarding me, i do! Still learning so don't exactly push my Car to the limit, lol!

[Matty_Mills]

Neg reppers...... LEAVE YOUR FUCKING NAME!

Steer into the slide and floor it, thats the only way you will get out of a slide in a fwd car.
Rwd i so much better you just balance it on the throttle with no lock.

[Shellz]

I can't really imagin how you could do that. Yeah you'd be quite nervous. But i'd deffo be sticking to speed limits, if not a bit less! :(

Well he decided cornering in a 40 zone at 70 was acceptable, soon found out it wasnt, was lucky didnt roll car, hit the kerb and spun. Lucky boy. He has learnt now. Good driver now. :y:

At least hes learnt!!...The hard way! :P

[Adge]

Muhahah oh yes :) Gutted.

[Matty_Mills]

sometimes people need a bit of a bump to teach them a lesson.
Will happily admit, i had one as soon as i passed.... now i feel i'm a good driver.
Having a bump teaches you to really respect a car and what it can do. Especially when you realise that everytime you fuck about, your putting your life aswel as others in danger.
At the end of the day, theres driving a bit too quick, then there is driving like a complete twat!

[Adge]

Yeah I had a fender bender at 30 mph :) But i am a much more careful driver now! Good stuff.

[SaxoVTR2008]

Ive only been driving a week last friday and spun my car monday and hit middle of a roundabout :) lucky no damage but makes me more alert..

Unlucky mate but glad everyones ok.

Few of my mates crashed into each other at a round about with me in one of the cars. Neither were right offs but loads of damage, only 2 weeks after one had passed.

Luckily i was still learning so i knew not to act a twat before i even passed, so haven't crashed *touch wood*

[Shellz]

60 or 70 into a long sweeping corner in the wet and then lift off completely should work if you fancy it. I dont recommend it as it hurt

since passin my test at the end of feb 2007 iv wrote off 3 cars, my 106 i stuffed up another cars arse in the may then a car cut the corner so i took it out in my 306, then my lovely lil saxo vsx in posi blue i on march 31st this year got hit head on by a truck and trailer on a bend, i owned it less than 3 weeks and loved it. its life unfortunatly and we all have accidents hence thats why we have insurance. iv had my posi blue vtr since may now and i havnt put a dent in it or anything, iv learnt in the last few months how well it handles and brakes and coz of that i can control it with it, i can hit corners at 70 and usin the gears and clutch right i can get round without it sliding abit!:d all about experience and control. i dont often go round corners that quick its only when im feelin abit hyper lol.

[potatopete]

OMG...!!

There's sooo many stupid comments being posted in this thread.......I could quote them all, one by one, but it would take me AGES, and would take up like 3 more pages.....


All I will say is:

This thread should be LOCKED!

[shooorn94]

Wet weather = slow down matey, excess weight in the back will cause you to slide out. Be careful and drive safe :y:

lol but if that person really pulled the handbreak up its wel harsh...

if someone pulled my vts handbrake up i would batter them to death esp if it resultd in my vts being crashed

my vts cant be crashed off the road anyway:homme:

I just thank fuck you don't. With what you've told me about your driving. Remember it's not big and its not clever! :wall:

[paddy88]

i no how you feel m8t, the first night is the worst, when you r shaking, just give it sum time, give it a few days and u will be thinking how lucky you have been then the nxt ting you no u will be lookin for a new car, n properly a german well built car! lol at least no one was hurt, i did exactly the same went round a slippy bend doing the 60mph speed limit back end kicked out then snacked down the road clipped a grass bank n flipped onto the roof, the worst part was being in the car upside down and not being able to undo my seat belt! hope it all works out for you m8ty!

[monster-saxo]

I had a major accident back in 2002. I had a brand new Corsa C, I was coming back from Blackpool with some friends.I was just coming off the junction for Reebok stadium and some knob in a fiesta just stopped for no reason, I pulled around him then he startedchasing me.I got to the round-a-bout and lost control, the car fish tailed and I couldn't control it.I ended up on the traffic island and a foot away from a set of traffic lights.I totaled my front suspension and 2 alloys. I paid for the work to be fixed wich was around £700 from vauxhall.

[sutty]

I had a mate once who pulled my handbrake up while going round a corner, it was near xmas the road was proper icey and I had passed my test all of 1months!(nearly 5 years ago now) needless to say we went sliding out of control, luckily I ended up on some ones drive way and not into another car :x (he walked home)

someone pulled out on me last month. made me crash then drove off. my cars repairable but at my own cost.

i must not be able to walk. let alone run..
dont forget it aint alwas the drivers fault.

Sorry, i wasnt having a dig at everyone. I just hadnt read a single person say 'i crashed because of someone elses actions'.

If it was someone elses fault then fair enough, i was aiming it at the ones saying i lasted a day before i crashed, x amount of write offs in 3 months etc.

All those come down to a lack of experience from the driver, no one else.
