i was coming home from my girl friends house last night around 10:45PM when my celi hydroplained and all most hit a telephone poll. the speed limit was 50MPH and i was doing no more then 45MPH when the back end slid out from the lack of tread on the tires iam guessing. the car spun around 180 degrees and slid around id say 200 ft untill i went off the road into the dirt were i slid another 20 or so feet. LUCKLY i did not hit anything. i got out to check the car and i noticed my tracks going threw the dirt were about 2 feet from a telephone poll and the back of my car was about 10 feet from hitting a sign. iam so lucky i didnt hit any thing and their were no other cars on the road. thought i would share this being its the closest i have ever got to being in an accident so far.

i live in south jersey in ocean county. i was only driving less then 15 miles from my girlfriends house to my house when it happened in my neighbor hood only a few blocks from my house. earlyer that day i saw a newer nissan frontier pick up spin out and crash in to a telephone poll hitting directly into the driver side door right in front of me. so when it happened to me i was so scared i was gonna hit something.
