Such a lucky lass. Scary when someone comes so close.

I remember when my best friend started driving (a late learner, but not as late as me lol) he used to drive way too fast when the roads were clear. Then he lost control of his car going 100mph went right over the sidings, clipped a tree and turned over four or five times. Ended up waaaaay off the road in the middle of some guy's field, lying on the driver's side. He had to climb out through the passenger window. He'd bumped his head on the window, but other than that and a couple of light grazes he was fine. He had pockets full of broken glass. The car was completely totalled. It was a hatchback van and the whole back part of the roof had been sheared off; the front of the car was completely crumpled. I saw the photos he took the next day (it was middle of the night whne it happened and he'd walked the five miles back). Couldn't believe he'd actually walked away from such a mangled heap.

he drives at a reasonable speed now.
