Tim, the answer to your question is probably yes, but of course you might have been showing off (as boys do), driving badly, driving too fast, or just unlucky if your accident was caused by someone hitting you. What did happen?
Thankfully you escaped, which is the main thing, as cars can usually get repaired whereas occasionally bodies cant
Yesterday morning about eight miles from where I live, three people from one family were killed instantly because of an impatient Porshe driver who couldnt wait behind another car for about 200 yards, until the dual carriageway started, when it would have had loads of space to get past.
It pulled out on a single carriageway to overtake and hit an oncoming minibus killing three of the family and injuring others.
Let this be a lesson to the young guys here, be patient and overtake only where it is safe to do so.
