well what a bad start to the week, we went off doing my other hobbie yesterday model boat racing, which was not to bad as got a 2nd place in one of my class's. well what was to happen on the way home was not what i want to go through ever again. driving home from peterbrough on the A1 in lane two doing 65 mph we was hit from behind by another car and spun around at this speed which put me facing on coming traffic then got hit again head on by the same car. ended up doing 360 spin at 65 mph and then to end up on the grass at the side of the road. we was lucky to get out alive with just sore necks. life can really be hard at time and to think i was driving carefull and not doing any thing wrong it just goes to show you have to watch what other people are doing on the road. car is a write off now.

Hi Mark,

Well at least you guys are OK and just and although a bit sore which can soon be fixed sounds like it could of been a lot worse.

Got to look on the positive side... You are lucky to walk away by the sounds of it! People come off much worse with smalller accidents than that.

As annoying as it is, at least the car can be replaced... I never trust any drivers, had a couple of serious accidents on the motorbike, everyone is out to get you in my mind.

A definate case of 'Due care and attention' by the sounds of it.

Hope your neck isn't too bad!

Sounds like you were VERY lucky. A pity about the car, but it's only a piece of metal. Must have been very frightening, at the time.

ATB...Freddy.

Glad you both are Ok pal, if you need a hand sorting things then let me know.
