Scary Driving experiences!, NO STREET RACING PLEASE!!!!! Options

[goferris]

Ok i just thougt that i would start a post to see some things that have happened to others on the site.

doesn't have to have been in the celi. basically what i am looking for are stories of where the car and driver shoulda been hurt a lot more than they really were but due to extreme luck very little to no damage at all was done.

Ok
heres mine.
this was when i still had my 97 ST Limited. i was driving to my parents house for a sunday night dinner. i had just got on the freeway. i was going about 75 when all the sudden there was a tire tread in the middle of my lane. i didn't see it til i was about 20 yards away from it. i swerved to miss, over corrected then over corrected again, did a 360 on the freeway and landed on the side of the road. heres the lucky part. not a scratch on my car. it was in traffic too.
where i slid off the freeway was level where most everywhere else drops 20 feet or so, there werent any signs or posts or anything. i must say that is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

what inspired me to start this was i just read someones story about how the lost control of their car but the only damage was a screwed up rim.

PLEASE POST GUYS! Interestered to hear your stories.
Thanks

Was driving in the black hills here in south dakota to just relax and let off some steam..

Well two weeks earlier it had snowed, and from what i learned that day, is that even though the snow melts ice still hides behind the shadow's of mountains...so being a newb to ice/snow, i am doing 20 miles under the speed limit, and as i drive along the mountain roads i am thinking that I'am going a safe speed since the sun was out and other than what was hiding in the shadows there was no ice, snow or nuttin

So i start going uphill on a mountain road, and decide to slow down since i see a curve coming, followed by a downhill slope, and a shadow of a huge boulder that was coming up on my right, well i start slowing down and slow down to 20 miles an hour, but................ that wasnt enough, and before i knew it, i had hit a patch of ice that covered the whole side on my lane, and alittle into the other, and started to tailspin off the side of this mountain (i was headed to a 50-80ft drop off ) but got saved when i bounced off the gaurdrail and skidded back into my lane....

needless to say i was scared silly, and my poor prelude only suffered some ugly body damage....but i know that if i was going the speed limit (60mi btw) i would've probably smashed through the gaurdrail , but anywho, thank god i didnt
