I had an interesting experience coming of an A5 roundabout in Milton Keynes the other evening.
It was the first rain we've had in about 2 weeks and the road was quite slick and as I accelerated around the corner away from the roundabout, the back wheels started spinning......
CACK PANTS !
The back end went out right, and I manager to correc it left, but at this point I lost it and the car went fully around 270 and ended up in the grass to the left of the road - no damage, no injuries.
The moral of the story, is don't drive on bald tyres (I've just replace all 4 on my E280).
