Today morning on the road to my office i have a strong car accident.I was moving in a highway with the speed of 150km/h(Too much-and so follish for me Embarassed

) and there was a wood in the left side of the road that costs me a left-front flat tyre.I lost control of my car and stick to the safety slab bar and drawing there for about 400 meters.I lost the left back tyre totally(i pick up later ina distance of 100 meters back of the car),i have no breaks and the only think that remain to do is trying to keep car stick on the bar in order not to lose control and hit the other cars that passing beside me.After about 20 seconds the car stops and i figure out that(forunately)i was ok.My car has a big damage but the point that im ok makes me ignore it.

Thanks God for it...

I have learn my lesson.

I know we try to keep religion off the forum, but thankfully He was with you today. We have many brought into our emergency department with much less damage to their cars, but all too often more damage to themselves.

Be carefull and keep flying.

They happen in the blink of an eye, especially at that speed. I love to drive fast but I know there are ramifications if I do.
Most of the time your driving on factory tires, the lowest of the low and at that speed your an accident waiting to happen.

Thankfully you came out alright, we like and need you here, so be careful out there.

Wow! Glad you're ok!

I recently had my first dose of the autobahn and instantly kicked it up to 210 km/h! Things happen TOOOOOOOO fast at that speed.

Glad that it worked out and you're here to tell us about it!

Wow man, thank God for your safety. That's an incredible story btw!

Driving fast is fun I agree, My little 98 Park Avenue tops at 113, but it's never safe unless you're on a race track! Shocked
