The past 24hrs have been the worst of my life. Last night freezing rain was falling and our sidewalk was a skating rink, but I figured the pavement wouldn't be bad on the drive back to my mom's house. Well, I was right, the pavement was only a little slick, but I had to drive through a spot that they just repaved on the way home. I knew it would be more slippery, so I slowed down to about 20 when I came to that part. I was nearly to the end and i had to go around a gentle curve. As soon as I turned the wheel, the car went into a spin and i started heading for the opposite ditch. I could see that I would go into the ditch if I didn't try to brake, so I slammed them on and missed the ditch by about 6 inches. That was my first near miss driving. So now I'm facing the opposite way on the opposite shoulder. I ease the car back out and then see anther car behind me. I give it little more gas so I don't get rear-ended and the front of the car slides into the left lane. I stop and let the other car by on the right. While I'm sitting there I slide SIDEWAYS into the left side snowbank.I finally get to a parking lot and let my dad drive. Then, I wake up this morning and I canat even talk! I've had a cold for the past couple days, but I din't think it would get this bad. Then my brother tells me school is closed! So the one day I get sick, I wouldn't have to go to school anyways.
