To put it simply, I was going faster than I should have been and got distracted at the one moment that required 110% focus on an unfamiliar road.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As an auto enthusiast, when you have a nice somewhat fast modified car with a loud exhaust you tend to like tunnels. They make your exhaust sound that much better, sort of like singing in the shower\u2026 Well, I found myself accelerating through this nice long and dark pair of tunnels; I had done this many times before in other tunnels. At the exit, I could barely see because it was so bright, a person standing and holding something while motioning. Wondering what they were doing, I stared, and stared, reaching the top of 4th gear, all while trying to comprehend what they were trying to tell me. Then I figured it out. They were telling me to slow down and watch the curve ahead, but it was too late. When I think about it now, I don\u2019t ever remember seeing the road ahead until I was nearly out of the tunnel. In my mind I had assumed that it just went straight. At that point I was exiting the tunnel straight as the road curved to the left. I had no time to slam on my brakes beforehand. Realizing I was going way too fast for that section, I applied the brakes softly in an effort to keep the back end from sliding out, but, combined with a bump and rough switch in surface texture from concrete to asphalt, I lost traction. I began sliding to the left, the car oversteering, rotating counter-clockwise, over the center marker. I counter-steered, turning the steering wheel all the way to the right, but kept sliding to the left into the turnout. It was at this moment I knew, I had fucked up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I slammed into a berm and expected to come to a complete stop, but the terrifying journey wasn\u2019t over. I went over the edge. It happened so fast all I can remember is everything crashing and spinning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to read the full account of what happened, <a href=\"http:\/\/justpaste.it\/q79c\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (7.4.18) simplesharebuttons.com --><div id=\"ssba-classic-2\" class=\"ssba ssbp-wrap left ssbp--theme-1\"><div style=\"text-align:left\"><span class=\"ssba-share-text\">Like it?
