Basically posting this because I nearly crashed my car 3 times whilst driving from York to London yesterday along the A1(M). As you are all aware there is a massive storm, and the tail end of it hit York yesterday. My dad arrived in York after waking up at 5am to help me move the rest of my stuff back to London as I've finished uni. So my dad wanted to get to York early and leave asap- which we did. I was the lead car for a while and then it started to rain lightly and then harder. Those of you who drive on motorways know that when it rains extremely hard, you can hardly see shit and it's worse when you're behind/over-taking lorries as the spray is literally diabolical. So I've reduced my speed a fair bit now, but still going faster than those in the left lane (2 lane A road) so there was no point in me going over to it. I literally struggled to see, plus I was constantly looking at my mirror to check on how my dad was doing as he was following me. As I did that, I hit a massive pool of water that caused my car to swerve and skid toward the barrier. My dad had said that my back wheels had cause my car to turn the angle of my car for a second. It really shook me up. So after about 10 mins I calmed down a bit and reduced my speed a bit more to about 50mph and had switched to the left lane as it was clear. It was still pissing down with rain and again, I hit a massive puddle that caused my car to swerve toward the left hand barrier. My phone wasn't working so my dad couldn't phone me to tell me to pull over at the next services. He signalled his lights and I knew he wanted me to pull over, so I just held into the left lane and waited for a junction. I tried to stay as close to the white line that separates the lanes apart as possible without making it dangerous for the over taking drivers, then all of a sudden my car skidded for about 2 seconds (I'm still not quite sure what it was) and again I nearly lost control. I just pulled over at the services to calm down a bit as it was quite scary. My dad decided to take the lead and he got the luck of the draw because the rain stopped and it became sunny and hot. What are other peoples experiences?
sliced my head down the whole side of a radiator flipping over the sofa got hit buy a car living in the ghetto of london
Also, I stupidly went to make oven chips in a gas cooker. Turned the gas on but forgot to light it. 20 minutes later I came down stairs and realised I hadn't lit the oven. Instinctively (and like an idiot) lit the cooker and a massive fire ball rose from behind the cooker. Safe to say I cried instantly.
interesting thread not quite close but definately shook me a bit; was driving to relatives closeby with my dad, got dropped at a mates to pop in b4 i went to the aunties. bout 5 minutes later dad rang me to say he got hit by someone backing out there drive. directly into the side i was sitting just beforehand, my side of the car was fucked and the door was halfway into the seat in pieces. was also a freelander so a pretty big impact on a strong car to make the door come into the car that much. edit, just remembred this; was playing golf, on a phat drop hole par3, hit off the tee and let the peopler behind us his theres b4 we putted. theyre was two of them, so two balls were hit, i walked onto the green, for some reason one of them hits a 3rd. didnt realise until it landed like 3 inches from my foot. that hit me in the head = dead
had a bad allergy, causing my throat to swell up and nearly choked to death. when I was about 10, my dad started letting me use his air rifle by myself, mates came round, my mate aimed it at me thinking it wasn't ****ed & loaded and just shot at me and the pellet missed me by a few centimetres.
Lucky your mate had an aim as bad as @Bakezy. then OT: Probably the closest I had was in my mates car, going about 45 along a main road, he wasn't concentrating on the road as he was messing with his hair in the mirror whilst driving lol and some guy pulled out of a junction and the car missed by cm's literally, was scary because I seen the car pull out and if I didn't tell him he would have ploughed straight into it. Safe to say he doesn't mess with his hair any more when I am in the car
Wasn't me, but I literally saved @buffalo 's life at boa. We were waiting for a tram outside of our hotel to get to the event, and as normal buffalo was off his face and was blabbering on about fuck all. He didn't notice the tram coming up behind him and because we were right at the start of the platform, the tram hadn't even started to break and buffalo's head was in the line of where the tram was headed. Seeing as I wasn't even talking to him at the time, I randomly glanced over and saw what was inevitably going to happen. I pulled him by his hood on his magnificent lan suit and he missed the tram literally by a centimetre. It was moving at a good 30mph and it was just aiming for his head, safe to say he bought me a maccy's later on.
i was filling my lighter back up with gas while talking to my m8 and the gas can slipped and i accidentally pushed the lighter against my jumper and made the lighter light and all the gas that leaked out set alight and my jumper went up in flames
Got caught in a blizzard when I was skiing at the top of the run, very strong winds and couldn't see anything, not even my hand in front of my face.
Was eating cereal (cherrio's) and somehow one of them bastards got stuck on the uvula (the dangly thing on the back of your throat) and some reason it stopped me from breathing and I started to panic had to go and get a knife to knock it off cause my finger wouldn't reach it. worst experience ive ever had
Just driving to College, I have to go on the M25 which is usually heaving in the morning. A lorry infront of me cut across another car and caught the end of it making it spin out of control, right across the front of my car. Maybe I wouldn't of died but going 70+mph and smashing into a spinning car wouldn't of been the best situation.
Had the exact same thing driving back from uni. Had just finished second year and was driving back with all of my stuff, was on the M5 towards Cheltenham and the mother of all fucking storms hit, bear in mind I only drive a Ford Ka so the wind and rain is making my car it's little bitch every waking moment. Was in the middle lane, lorry pulls out to overtake and the car in front of me just doesn't see it which is completely understandable considering the rain is lashing down and visibility is next to none, car swerves and skids, hits the middle barrier and then spins back towards the middle of the road and misses my car by about a fraction of a centimetre, hits the car in the inside lane and takes them both into the grass. Was fucking ridiculous, I've never liked lorries. Most European countries have rules that say that they must be in the inside lane during normal hours so fuck knows why in England they don't enforce it, the lorry trying to overtake was the main reason why the entire accident happened. Shook me up drastically, just slowed down and pulled off into Worcester instead and stayed in a garden centre till it calmed down. Also got run over by mate once when we were going home from school, we used to bike it there and back then occasionally would hold onto a mate's car as they'd drive us up a hill, usually was fine. For some reason it didn't work well this time and my bike buckled, went straight under the front tyre of the car with me on it. Some weird gut reaction must have made me push out because I managed to get my head out the way and had my leg run over instead. Every cloud. Good thread.
Had a few tbf. Was playing football when was younger up in scotland and it was on like a hill kind of grass area next somebody's house, the ball went into their back garden and nobody could be arsed to even get the ball so we all layed down on the grass for like 10mins till somebody could be arsed to get it. Then this **** came out from the garden with a meat clever trying to slash one of us cause the **** was depressed and been drinking 3 days straight. Nearly got hit as i was lying down at the top of the hill and u had go down the way to escape out the area. Will post the next one in diff post as its fucking long brews.
Many might know this as posted this in different kind of threads about being embarrassed Basically was working away in Bristol with my work and me and 2 other apprentices decided go out in the town for the night, So was a bit of rough night an we were walking home and we split up, me and 1 of them went together and the other apprentice fucked off back to the B&B another way. Anyhow as we were walking home i managed to stumble through gap in the barrier which was protecting a 30FT drop into an embankment into the river. Fuck knows how i manage to get through it but i did and fell down cracked my head open and cut my sides on the way down. I was just keeping my head above the water and was fucked falling asleep or wanted close my eyes lol. My mate then decided to jump down this embankment like a **** before getting help and came down and went past me into the fucking river twisting his ankle lol. We both manage to get heard for help after 1hr in this fucking freezing cold river. Eventually police came, ambulance came, fire brigade came and the fucking air police came lol. Looked like a **** getting out of there on this fucking massive ladder with people watching us. If you want me continue the story then let me know or like the post, The best parts of the story has still came but i think most people heard the story.

Also had a ****head mate that thought it would be funny too take pot shots at me as i ran away, heard the pellet hit the tree just above me. Was shaking. Also Tom nearly drowned me when we were swimming, this was about 12-13 years ago and i've not been swimming since.
you are on par with beardo on being the most un-funniest person on this site. I take it that you didn't see which bit I highlighted? guess not, phaggot.
