Default nearly killed my saph today

so i was coming ont a roundabout today, to be honest, i do try to get thew car sideways now and again but only when its safe, i wasnt going fast, well, 40 ish, (big roundabout) and suddenly the back end was overtaking me, somehow i managed to do a fucking J turn once i was going backwards, i pulled the handbrake on the way back around too, fuck knows where that came from, its not like ive ever practiced it

Now go buy her some nice flowers and chocolates.

Spun my Volvo GT about 20 years ago at 150kph in a turn after I got cut off my a giant wood panelled estate. Did the same thing. Engine ran backwards for a brief moment before dipping the clutch. Felt like I was a stuntman. I decided to learn how to drive properly after that!
