....when balck ice is about guys so be careful. I was on my way home last night and had to brake suddenly... all was ok until I hit the ice and began to fishtail and ended up in the barrier at about 40 mph.

Thankfully I walked away without even a bruise but the vans a complete write off and insured third party only. I went back this morning to tow it away but it had already been removed so I'll probably get a knock on the door later too!!

So watch out in the dark you lot...... it could have been much worse!!

Oh My! well im glad you're OK!

Just out of curisoty, what car was it?

It was a Citroen C15 van..... only just finished paying my boss for it too

oh no. Atleast you weren't written off!!!

This is true.... I have a scratch on my leg and face but they came from stumbling in the dark through the ditch and bushes to get to a safe spot.

Pride is dented but I am fine when it could easily have been so much worse.... glad it was a dual carriageway with no other traffic.

Crikey! You sound very composed for someone who's just had a nasty accident and wrecked their van. If it was me I'd be gibbering mess.

Glad you're okay.

I am rather deflated and shell shocked but I walked away without even a muscle twinge or any whiplash etc. I'm gutted about the van as it is my only means of transport but it can be replaced eventually...... I however can't so it's good to be in one piece!!

Dangerous stuff, that black ice. I'm glad that you were alright, Jordan.

Mike.

Almost as dangerous as thin ice, and yet I still people skating on it now and then !

talking of ice i was thinking of going ice skating in manchester soon...

but obv. im glad your OK...

Thanks
