Who remembers this, SYP from years back, you're essentially a passenger when a tyre blows at those speeds.

That's remarkably similar to what ours looked like. Except no traffic in my case, and didn't spin quite as violently until lower speed. But he, like me, ended up in the original lane pointing in the same direction which made me smile!

Yeah it just took us into the central barrier at a pretty kind angle (so got dragged along it, losing speed relatively slowly before spinning) but that wasn't due to any clever evasive action on my part
Did it dig in and spin? Was it the cable barrier or the Armco type? I'm just wondering like 'loss of control ' implies you tried to do something that didn't have any affect
