Sideways up the pavement..... On the wrong side of the road! - SHAHZ - 15-11-2019
So I was visiting the mrs family up in Peterborough on Christmas eve and about 4 ish I popped to sainsburys to pick up a few essentials for Xmas day. On my way back now probably near 5pm the roads were damp and the temp was obviously dropping. So I had taken the exit on a roundabout I needed to get back, and was just beginning to accelerate up to speed, by the time I was nearing around 30 on a 40 mph road someone on the other side of the road decided to overtake the car infront of them and come directly in to my path, to miss the car I swerved left and then hard back right and the back end lost it and spun out to the other side of the road and went sideways up the pavement onto a grass verge and stopped short of a hedge......the kerb was luckily a sloped type rather than the normal 90 degree slab kerb which allowed the car to go up it rather then stop me on the road as a car was fast approaching me from behind.......
Glad my family wernt in the car or a pedestrian walking on the pavement at the time and don't want to think what could have happened had my car not slid up the verge with the car coming from behind :o
So thankfully no one was hurt however obviously the geo has suffered as its pulling to the left and feels really heavy.....
Need to get the geo redone and to check if anything has bent when it hit the pavement!

Peterborough is packed full of nutters in cars. I go up to Whittlesey quite often, the amount of times I've almost been knocked off the road is ridiculous haha. Glad you are ok!

Were you on the sauce :drink::drink::drink: ,must say I'm glad you were ok and not to much damage to the car. But now the drivers seat will need a good clean :tongue_smilie:

That sounds like a really lucky escape there, glad no one was hurt.
If the car feels that bad something must be bent but hope it is just a geo thing.

I hope so, have driven it a couple of times since and no knocks or clunks just a pull and heavy steering so fingers crossed it's just a geo issue!
