Icy Roads Cause Accident
January 20th, 2010
The only accident I have ever had whilst driving was last winter. It happened when the weather suddenly turned and the roads were covered in ice. I was driving back from work in the dark when I hit a really icy patch of road and went hurtling into a tree. Luckily I was going through a thirty zone at the time so wasn’t going that fast, because it could have been a very serious accident if it occurred at high speeds. As it was I walked way with only a few scratches but my car was a complete mess. The whole front off it was hanging off when the recovery van towed it away from the tree. The cost was covered by my motor insurance except for a small excess and I was given a courtesy car, so that side of things were taken care of. I would never want to have another accident again though.
