Default Had my first true brown trouser moment
Been at a wedding all day and left Kensington in Central London circa 3am.

Driving home totally clear roads and I stuck to every speed limit.

God knows what possessed me but near my house I decided to take a large roundabout at about 35.

It had been misting down but in my sleepy state I didnt realise.

Slight drift then a horrific fishtail with me having next to no control.

Never again.

Everyone needs one of those once in a while - reminds you to pay attention

Bet you didn't need a coffee when you got home! Good thing it was the early hours, no one else to get involved or see. As Fester said a polite reminder once in a while is a good thing.
Still at least you weren't driving like a Granny this time.

Then try going the wrong way round!!
