"last night i went off the road . was doing 40-45mph on a 60mph dual carriage way. started turning round a curve in the road which is under a bridge so it wasnt as wet as everywhere else. back end kicked out suddenly. front end mounted curb. heading towards bridge wall back wheels mounted curb changing my direction away from wall. im now sliding sideways on the grass. i can see a drain cover coming up. and notice its lined up with my back wheel on passenger side.. nothing i can do and the wheel hits its destroying the drain cover. there is sand now flying everywhere. i continue sliding doing 360 spins etc. im doing everything i can to stop the car but it doesnt work. then i slide UP and embankment coming to rest at the top facing the way id just come. loads of people stopped to help. i was more worried about my car than anything else. a guy used his van to block the road for me so that i could get my car back on the dual carriage way. Well last night when i go home i checked the car over and ive done some damage to the back passenger wheel. its bent inwords so now i got a squeeling and rubbing noise when i drive :'( going to get it looked at today at 4pm as my manager is letting me go early. just wanted to ask before i did what anyone thought i could have potentially done? as i cant afford to be paying out loads. P.s someone fancy washing my car ? as its covered in grass sand mud and concrete ALL over"
