Rolled my company car!!!

[stevenet15]

I rolled my company car!!! its my first accident in almost 8 years of driving. I was driving along in a 60mph country lane doing around 55mph, it was raining and suddenly a fox/badger (what ever it was couldnt realy make it out as happened so quick) ran out in front of me. I automaticly swerve to miss it and the back end of the car kicks out (vectra estate) clips the high mud bank at the side of the road, flipping the car up and lands on its roof. the windows smashed, front doors where squashed shut, boot wouldnt open so i had to unlock and kick one of the side doors open. Luckly i was unharmed didnt even have a scratch on me (airbags didnt go off either). There was a person behind me when this all happend and they pulled over and the person was realy shook up and shaking badly after seeing what happened so i had to calm them down. Police turnt up and the skid marks and the bloke behinds story confirmed mine.

at least it was a company car and not my car, also there not gona put a insurance claim in as no other vehicles were involved and they would have to pay a stuipidly high excess to claim.

Sorry, but I actually laghed at the title! I can't imagine ever rolling one of our company cars!

[neilandhisvtr]

im quite suprised at how many people say about airbags not going off like theyre suprised.. theyll only go off on a head on, they would of done more harm in this case.

glad you walked away unhurt.

yeah i am glad they didnt my mate had a crash was fine apart from the fact that he was badly burnt from the airbag and the front bumper was damaged and from the fact the state of the bonnet was supprised it didnt get a shock frm that, mind you i'm used to working on mercedes as i was a mechanic for them for over 5 years and there aibag control unit detects roll overs and sets side and front airbags off not sure how advanced the vactras system is
