Just had my first accident

thought i'd go for a quick spin as it was sunny after work, going very slow for a change and turning right and a mini painted roundabout i was in the middle of the painted circle and some stupid woman just ploughed head on in to the nearside wheel. Then just to make it worse shouts at me that i should have given way!!!!!

broken wheel arch and bent the brackets on the chassis

Not very happy i must say!!!





Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what
gets you.

You were turning right and she was coming from opposite to where you started? Her fault then. Still not fun, and a total waste of time.

Some people think they own the road. There are loads of bad drivers... just a pity the good drivers have to make up for their stupidity.

Hope you get it sorted.

She was so pretty.

His steering wheel came off whilst on the motorway! Now that would be terrifying.

I can only blame my self, otherwise it is excuses.

bit of bad luck it happened there though and not at a set of lights during the 10 min journey leading up to it.

I still feel bad now for the hundreds of people I made wait in traffic jams.

oh well, stuff happens, maybe for a reason. At least everybody had no lasting injuries.

I know they don't look cool……

Amateur’s , this is how its done in Scotland.

Damp road, 40mph, Diesel spill, Westy v Tree = victory to tree.

Driver was OK after some patching up at the local Hospital.

I'm surprised his feet and legs are still attached to the rest of him. He may not have felt very lucky that day, but he must have had luck in spades to get away with relatively minor injuries.
