Erm, ok, well so much for not updating for another year! I've just totalled my car...bit of a shock really. Did it about 2 hours ago, around 11pm. As you can tell from being online, I'm fine, just a bit in shock.

It's amazing really, I dont even have a scratch but the car completely span around and flipped onto it's side. I had to climb up and out of the passengar door because the driver's door was face down on the road. I'd just come round a rather steep bend in this country lane, no lights or anything, thing is I've been round that bend a million times before. I didn't take it any faster than I normally do as I know it's stupid to go more than 30mph on it.

Next thing I knew however, the wheels weren't turning the way I was telling them to go, and when I tried to steer back the other way to compensate for it all hell broke lose and next thing I knew I was facing the wrong way with the car on it's side! :s The first thing I said I believe was something along the lines of "shit I've crashed" and then I kinda went into auto pilot, lol.

Engine off, seatbelt off, hazards on, grab phone, call mum, try to get out of car whilst ringing mum. It was kinda scary as I was only just around this steep bend and with the road not being lit up, anyone coming around that corner too fast could go straight into mine before they even saw me and had time to stop, hence trying to multi task and climb out of the car whilst calling my mum, lol.

It's strange how much things get thrown around in a car too, whilst I was looking for my phonen I realised how things that had been in the front were now way at the back, the contents of my bag were scattered all over the place, and even the car mats form the front somehow ended up on the back seat! Managed to get out in the end, though it was difficult I tell you trying to lift up a heavy car door and climb out whilst your legs are shaking and you're trying to talk on the phone with the other hand.

Anyway, mum said she would be right over, I decided it was best to go over and wait on the grassy verge just in case another car did decide to come along and crash into mine. Then luckily come people came along from the other direction and stopped to help me out, then a couple of others came along too, and I managed to gain three helpful men who pushed my car the right way up and got it onto one side fo the road so it wasn't blocking the way any more.

At this point I suddenly realised I should call the police and proceded to do so, which was surprisingly not as scary as I thought it would be, having never dialled 999 before. I did however have to be told to stop rambling by the phone operator who didn't actually want to know what had happened, but if I needed an ambulance, police or fire brigade so she could put me through It was cool to hear her tell the police what my mobile number was, she was psychic I tell you! Or, it proves that they're been watching me, just like I always knew... *shifty eyes*

So they were coming too, the nice people made sure I was ok and had someone coming and they went along their merry way, and the rest just involved flashing lights, roads being blocked, insurance details being taken, and rescuing what I could out of my car before goign home with my mum.

Poor little car, it was so good to me, and I almost made it a whole year without crashing it dammit! I was so proud of having never crashed my car too, and now it's happened for no reason! It wasn't my fault, but it wasn't anyone else's fault either! I still have no idea what happened, I took that bend at 30mph as I always do and somethign just went wrong along the way! :s Ah well. Mum just keeps telling me that it's only an object and it's far more important that I'm ok, but it sure is expensive and makes it a hell of a lot harder to get to uni and back every day! :S
