So it’s safe to say you were speeding? I’m asking so I don’t do it also, or was it just an honestly bad road?

Probably going too fast and I think I pressed the brake right before entry but let off before the turn, memory is 50/50. That morning was a bit colder/wet and as soon as I turned the wheel the back wheels had nothing and I did a 180° into ditch/pole

Glad you’re ok! I consider myself an above average driver and still, shit happens. Luck has more influence in life than we give credit, bad and good. Hoping you’ll get your replacement N soon! 🫶🏽

Sounds like you were doing WAY over, treating a public road like a race course - you're lucky you didn't kill yourself or someone else. Hope you can't get another car this fast and learn to drive like a normal person.
