I used to take a keen interest in road safety, I learned that, drivers who have accidents, tend to have the same 'type' of accident again and again..!
Some years ago whilst driving in snow and ice I had this accident in Woking where I drove round a bend to the right. What happened was I turned the steering wheel to the right (to go round the bend) my front wheels lost grip and I continued in a forward direction...and ploughed into a wall!
And today I was driving in snow and ice in Epsom, I came to a bend to the right, I turned the wheel to the right, my front wheels lost grip...and I (very nearly!) ploughed into three brand new cars which were parked at a car sales place called Wilsons! And it was close, because some onlookers were like "oooh that was this close mate!"
It seems true that drivers who have accidents...seem to have the same type of accident!
I failed to anticipate that I would lose steering control when I went round the bend!
