I ended up in a ditch once cause some fool woman was behind the wheel...

Out in the countryside late one night she decided to play around with the headlight switches trying to spook me...(you know how dark a country road is at night ?). Well the XA falcon she was driving decided not to turn the lights back on and she fumbled around until the light knob fell off. Anyway a corner was fast approaching as this happened and she tried to take the corner with the headlights off. Next thing I hear was the tires on gravel....next nothing but wind...Yep we were airborne...then CRASH, BANG we come to a halt in this gully bank in all the shrubs...I smelt petrol...asked if she was alright and started to panic cause I couldn't open my door. Anyway we both scrambled out her driverside door...and scampered up the slippery band. I was expecting an explosion or something from the smell of fuel in the air...luckily nothing happened. When we got to the top of the bank I noticed just how lucky we were to live. Her car had just missed these 2 massive River Red Gums by a few feet...and somehow threaded its way between them...the car ended up resting about 20 metres down the bank alongside these thick shrubs... suffice to say I never got in another car with her behind the wheel again...
