They are strong at the front, luckily because that looks like a dry stone dyke you hit.

Full story of the accident please.

Jackjack how did you know? Was a straightish road, doing a very legal *30mph*, went along the road hit the oil and bobs your uncle, straight into the wall and span down the road and ended up in a hedge. Very lucky to walk away mind, heavily concust (told the copper I hit a badger, he then shown me the whole in the wall) after my airbags failed to go off! The only consolation is that if there was a passenger in the car theirs would've went off.. typical!

Well if you're going to f*ck a car up, you might as well do it properly. ;)

At least there wasn't anyone else involved
and you only destroyed a wall and telegraph pole and not someone else's car, apart from your own.

Only 19 so and passed when I was 17, definetly not experienced like a lot of those who have been driving for years. Being younger I thought I was indestructible, this was in September btw! Been a while since I was last on here haha!
 
Why did you leave the road if it was straight and you hit some oil?

Not trolling, but I'm surprised at 30mph with the wheels straight that it would cause the car to lose control.

Braked and the rear started to swing, thats how on a straight road I went left haha! Thats the telegraph pole though and the house on the left at the time was on sale thankfully as no one was inside at the time

Your insurance might have to cover the rebuilding of that wall aswell as paying for your car.

You're going to get bum raped the next time you try to get insurance. :(

Because the car lost control and was aquaplaning. Just didin't think at the time, would've been so much different if I hadnt!


Well at least you now know that going anywhere near the brakes is the last thing you do when aquaplaning,
just lift off the throttle and concentrate on keeping the thing in a straight line.

You learn by your mistakes, we've all made them mate.

So wait, you hit oil and aquaplaned?! That was really unlucky...

Edit: my guess, you were nailing it round the slight bend, lifted off, back end swung, you tried to correct it. You failed. You ran out of talent and you crashed? Good job though. Glad to hear your ok.

According to him he was diving in a straight line at a normal speed, hit some oil,
it got all squirmy on him, he touched the brakes, totally lost control and binned it.

There's no reason not to believe him tbh, he's young and made a mistake, it happens.
