Not sure if this should be here or in off-topic, if it's the wrong place sorry.
So! I was merrily driving down the dual carriageway, pretty straight road, I had geared up about a second or 2 earlier and seemed to have traction perfectly fine, then the back end just snapped out. I quickly found myself, in neutral, steering my car in reverse cursing myself for the bill I was gonna get if I hit that central barrier about 12 inches to the left of me, not a nice place to be but I seemed to get control of the car and bring the speed down. Everything got a little fuzzy from there to be honest, the next thing I remember clearly was pulling into the hard shoulder - I was driving forwards at this point, not sure whether I span it again or stopped and turned. So I quickly jumped out of my car and ran to the only person that had pulled over to check she was ok, she was just relieved I was fine and after a quick laugh went on her merry way.
I didnt hit anything during the whole incident thankfully.
Can anyone hazard a guess as to what may have gone wrong? Tyres are all less than 2k old, ultrac sessantas. The road was dry, and couldnt have been much straighter. I was accelerating fast-ish, but not stupidly. I looked at the road, and there are several different surfaces there, I can see that possibly being a contributing factor but id imagine a small one. im not sure what else could have contributed, if anyone has any questions let me know.
Also is there anything I should be checking over on the car after this?
Cheers!
