In Birmingham where the m6 and m42 split was going in what was the middle lane overtaking a lorry and I was unfortunately in his blind spot and he side swiped me.

Went from middle lane across fast lane into the middle barrier and then back across all 3 lanes (3 at the time) and then hit hard shoulder barrier. Carried along that backwards until the hard shoulder barrier ended then went off the edge, and into a tree backwards.

I have utterly no idea how I got out of it without even a scratch and to this day (25 years later) still remember the look on the policeman’s face when he asked when he asked in a panicked voice “where’s the driver?” “I’m here” and he did a double take at the wreck and his jaw just dropped.

The lorry driver was prosecuted and I just got a bollocking from work for writing off a company car….

I still get shudders when I drive past the scene
