A few:
When I was about 6 we had put our car in for repairs and collected a courtesy car to use for a few days. My mum was driving the courtesy car back home with me and my sister in the back. We were in the fast lane on Spaghetti Junction in an overhead. A tire blew out making the car swerve across three lanes to hit the inside barrier before swerving back out towards the fast lane but now facing the wrong way. We then got hit by a truck which span us back towards the inside lane and we took out a 20 meter section of barrier and it looked like the car was going to go over the edge and in to the other motorway below. Another lorry came up on the inside deliberately to stop this and brought us to a halt. I know how all this happened becaus the traffic police showed us the video footage. All I remember is hitting the front seat. Another - A few years ago we were on a plane coming in to land at Heathrow. Plane got hit by windshear which literately flipped it over. If we'd been a bit lower the flip would almost certainly have resulted in a crash. As it was ww were lucky that the pilot and co-pilot managed to get control and land. Another- When I was 17 I was on a ferry coming back to Hong Kong from one of the outer islands. We got hit by the front edge of a typhoon and had to ride it out for about 2 hours before we could make port. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

... There will be loads of you who have had experience driving on the other side of the road in another country, Tony for one.. how long does it take to get used to it ? Say, for example, you've just driven off the ferry and you're now in France. How intimidating is it ? It takes a few days to get used to it. Most people try to be extra careful initially as it's different and it's often tiredness from the journey that causes them to have accidents. A lot of the accidents on the Malaga/Marbella coast here are caused by ex-pats who have lived here for a few years and forget they're not in the UK. Worst/hardest part if you drive a UK car in Europe is pulling out at junctions and overtaking as it's difficult to get a clear view as you're on the wrong side. The way people are taught to drive is a bit different. In the UK you get taught to overtake from distance. Here people are taught to come up close behind and then overtake. If you don't know this local drivers can come across as if they are tailgating and trying to intimidate. Locals are also taught to touch park so most cars have a few war wounds . I now find driving in the UK/Ireland odd for the first few days. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
