Last night as i posted in off day i mentioned i was going to the cinema to see Kill Bill, my gf was driving as she past her driving test exactly 1 week ago.
Anyway we was drivign down the a127 at about 70mph in the inside land and all of a sudden, i haven't a clue where what when or how but a HUGE alsation (spelling) dog came running out from the ditch in the side of the road and stopped right infront of us and just starred at us  travelling at a fairly fast pace we was stuffed, WHACK went the dog into our front bumper, my gf tried to swerve and as we swerved we hit the pavement on the left which ruined her control over the car, i wacked my head on the dash board and the force flew as around and we flew over to the outside lane and hit the middle barrier in the centre of the motorway.
I was just waiting for it all to finish,,,,, gf started crying and i asked if she was ok, her back hurt as did her neck,, my back hurt as did my arm, elbow and leg. Anway after realsing we are stuffed and the car is ruined i thought OH DEAR we are stuck in the outside lane on a bend facing back to front
A guy stopped to help us a BIG  up to him but i got back into the car and drove it off,, the wipers were wiping everything was on it was horrible 
Anyway i just want to say we are sooooo lucky to be alive, it wasnt our time to go and something was on ourside, soooo be careful guys it might not be your fault, it might not be someone elses fault, it could be an animals fault as we found out,,, it could of happened to anyone !
Fate was on our side 
Ps - axel on car has snapped, wheels is ruined, tracking has gone and the front bumper is in a terrible state going to cost 2k to repair and thankfuly nobody else was involved..... LUCKY !!

Yeah my mate was unconscience and we all got taken to hospital by ambulance.
Mate had just got his car freshley out the bodyshop the day b4, complete right off.
So scary waiting for it all to stop (spinning and crash noises etc) like waiti g to die! on the motorway when we'd finished the 1st thing i saw was truck facing us head on, luckily it had seen us hit the reservation and slowed down! BROWN PANTS!

Yeah glad your both ok mate!!
Not being funny here though mate so please don't take it the wrong way but this was your black corsa yeah? The 2L? I'm sorry but i would not let my bird who has just passed her test drive that if it was me.
I know she might be a great driver and this accident was not her fault but you get what am sayin?? Inexperience an all that.

jesus christ. Sounds really bad. Im happy that both you and your girlfriend escaped serious injury. Do look after her, crashing can really shake someone up, especially when its as bad as that. I read in help zone about this numbnut that crashed his GSi 1 week after passing his test yesterday after doing 80 in a 50. It makes me sick that people drive like that on the road, they could kill someone.
