Icy Patch

Is all this making you late for work?

Bad traffic in the mornings? Sat nav re-routing you onto unfamiliar roads? You then miss junctions because you don't know the roads? 

Brother, we've all been there. Where I've never been before is on an icy patch of a country road, and then shortly after in a ditch next to the icy patch of road I just skidded off. 

Yes, I took a slip and slide nose dive first thing this morning. After hitting and icy patch on a bend I lost control and glided into a ditch. I was quickly humbled by the response of the general public, the first chap pulled over to sure I was fine, then a few commuting crew members also stopped to check in - I was actually quite touched by how many members of the team came to check up on me. I called a member of the locations team with a pick up and he towed me out of the rough patch. 

The car suffer a bit of wingmirror damage but otherwise was all good. Because there was no impact to speak of I was totally fine too. I had adrenaline in my veins but after that wore off I mostly felt tired for the remainder of the day. I certainly won't underestimate icy patches now, I was actually quite lucky in all this in hindsight.
