Very sorry to hear it but glad you are OK.

Where do you stand with the insurance?
I had the same thing happen to me in my BM luckily I didn't hit anything but it shook me up a bit.
My neighbour also, he came home the other day with the front wheel hanging off his range rover and all the airbags deployed.
Hope it gets fixed soon!

Fair enough! I imagine you corrected once it started to go but either not fast enough or too much and overshot the other way? This'll seem preachy but it's meant in good will. Have you ever had any wet or low grip training? I can recommend it highly (saved me a few times!).

I had about half a second to respond - need I say anymore? gonna go on an advanced driver day course.

Well, it depends if think you took too long or didn't have enough time?

Make sure you get some skid pan stuff in there, a few of the good courses have it but Advanced Driving Roadcraft (IAM and RoSPA) doesn't include car control. But Roadcraft should help you see a slippery bit of road long before you get to it.
