Default White van men!!! learn how 2 drive safely!!!

I was on my way out this morning, driving along a road in shepton mallet, i was doing about 45 mph, the road was really wet. I was going round a bend not a sharp one but u cant see whats coming ahead of u till half way round, next thing i see is a van over taking a lorry!
All what happened next happened so quickly, started cadence breaking so not 2 lock the wheels up, but was'nt slowing down quick enough, so bit harder on the brakes got in a skid, ended up sliding off the road on to the grass verge and going straight in to a hedge. The lorry stopped and so did a car who saw what happend to see how i was. The van was no where to be seen. I have never been so shaken up in my life!
This could of been alot worse, at that speed and the size of his van it does'nt bear thinking about if my daughter was in the car with me.
Few scratchs on my car and steering feels abit odd at the moment, so got to get it checked, apart from that all ok now!
