    Hi, got my provisional license four months ago and bought my first car three weeks ago.

    Yesterday I was going to work and put hair serum in my hair just before I left. When I was driving down the road my car started to pull to the left so I tried to move wheel to straighten up but my hands were covered in serum and the wheel kept slipping through my hands. My front wheel then hit the grass verge and as I was coming to a main road I broke and ended up spinning across the road, through a ditch and out into a field :(

    So just warning everyone to make sure they have nothing oily or greasy on their hands before they drive, it was a horrible lesson to learn :(

    I think you may have missed an even more important lesson from this and that is that you were going too fast approaching a junction with a main road! ;)

    The fact that you spun out then went through a ditch and ended up in a field proves this :eek:

    Were you driving unaccompanied by a fully licenced driver? If so, that may have also been a factor in making such a mistake driving at speed coming up to a junction.
    So long as the incident has made you think about your driving and have more respect for the responsibility of being behind the wheel just be thankful you came out unscathed. :)

    How had you still got that stuff on your hands getting into the car?

    I wouldnt even feel confident driving with sweaty palms or with rain water from getting into the car. Never make driving more difficult for yourself than it already is especcially for a learner.

    At least nobody was hurt and you've learnt youur lesson for in future
