Clio Totaled - Everards Island Fosse Park Leicester

[pagey6005]

Last night in the rain coming across Everards Island at Fosse park going towards the police station coming down Narb Rd south with Salisbury’s petrol station on my left both set of lights were green, the set onto the light and the set halfway across the lights, I was in the right hand lane to cross the island an the road goes slightly left then right with a camber change as you flick right and the back end of the Clio lost it and I spun about 2 or 3 times an ended up on the grass verge half on half off the road, wiped out a sign for my village and Leicester Constabulary HQ (LoL) and a pelican crossing button and totalled the car. No one else was injured luckily and I’m fine just a stiff right leg but it could have been much much worse!

[Christopher]

Hope you get sorted mate. It's a horrible feeling.

 

[pagey6005]

Yeah its that gutted feeling

 

[C.J]

That's unlucky! At least you walked away from it. As you said, could have been worse should another car have been involved.

Were the police involved then? (i.e. council using your insurance for the damage?)

Because if it's just a single car accident, I'd say it's not worth claiming on a 172 for the increase in insurance next time you renew.

Police turned up and interviewed me for bout 5 mins, usual questions, i asked did they wana brethalise me they said no, ide literly just been training and they left without saying a word so i'm not sure bout council, just waiting for a phone call really.

I want to claim cuz i want something back from it, the cars was immacilate really, 60k engine and interior mint, might see bout buying it back to strip but will see what they offer me 1st.

Just gutted really, loved that car and foir its age it was mint

Oh dear. Let's hope this info isn't passed onto the insurers

 

[TooneySonic]

racing or not it doesn't matter - no-one else involved, your okay etc

i know it's a cliche but true

Good luck finding another

You wont have much of a choice tbh.

The council will notice the signs are fucked. Contact the Police who will tell them it was you and give them your insurance details. They will then go direct to your insurer.

The fact it was "mint" isnt that relevant. You'll get £3k max.

You're also a complete tool for racing in the wet.

 

[lisa16v]

mines on 60k and in good nick that why i only race down pod or on track, he will learn from this and wont be doing it again.

now i am the only ph1 silver 172 in leicester:rasp:

Yep learned lesson, no more stupid stuff in the wet or dry for that matter, I'm very lucky it could have been alot worse, and i fully admit its my fault i know the road i know the bump i just misjudged it compleatly, total idiot!

Yeah the hunt is on to find another 1 now, depending on insurance lol

 

[lisa16v]

i bet it wont be that bad on insurance hun, i am gutted for you because it was nice to see another one like mine driving round, and i wanted to see what you was going to do to it

well done for admitting it mate and yes you are an idiot for racing in the wet... but everyone does something stupid on the road at least once. luckily for most of us we survive to tell the tale.

to be fair mate I have lost my ass end in my old mk1 clio rsi on the road, down country lanes, fortunately was me on my own no other cars about, surprisingly didn't go that fast before I lost the ass spun once and was lucky enough to not hit anything!

since then I have been an old lady driver in the wet and it will stay that way

what is is. don't let it get you down. onwards/upwards.
