my accident! i was driving my car and unfortunatly i lost control and it went down a ditch and hit a tree, i was lucky not to be injured. i wasnt speeding or being silly, infact im the biggest nanna driver ever! it had rained heavily about a half an hour before i started driving so i think the road was just too slippery. im real gutted coz i miss my car and i drive that road everyday with no problems! i guess i just got some bad luck! iv never ever crashed before or had any fines/demerrits etc. ill be very upset if i get charged. what do you think!

Unless you can show that there was something other than the road simply being slippery because it rained e.g. a diesel spillage then I would guess you will get stung with careless use.

Did the police attend the accident! If they did, there is a very good chance you will be fined for careless driving.

Well you don't just slip off the road with no reason. You either have crap tyres or you were speeding. When we drive with crap tyres or we speed we run the risk of being charged. Im not preaching either,its just how it is. You

WOF means vehicle was road worthy at the time of inspection.
It's the responsibility of the vehicle owner to keep the vehicle at a good level of safety.
Again, not preaching. Just saying.

No you may not get charged. Did the police turn up and breathalize you and take all your details. Unless there was oil on the surface of the road or mechanical malfunction then clearly you were driving too fast for the conditions, you can't have been the only car on the road to take that corner. It could be a good lesson for you. Go with it and learn from it. it could have been much worse for you or others. Hope for the best,. Good luck.
