As a few of you may remember i bought a stunning 2001 Honda Accord 1.8i VTEC Sport about 5 weeks ago, god i loved that car. . . . .



Anyway, last Monday at about 6pm i was traveling home from work on a NS B road. It was raining so i was travelling at about 50mph. As i approached a left hand bend i saw a Ford pick up travelling/sliding towards me at speed with his front end on my side of the road.

There was no where to go, i braced myself , broke and SMASH!!!



He was fine, a bit shaken but fine.

I was carted off to hospital where it was discovered i have 2 cracked ribs, Whip lash and a fractured shoulder blade.

I have since spoken to a witness who was behind him and it turns out just before he lost it he had overtaken them at speed and then lost it on the wet road as he pulled back in, resulting in him swinging back out.

Not impressed, i loved that car.
 
I am very lucky, the car did what it was supposed to. Air bags went off etc and ive only got minor scratches and a few bruises to my legs.

Luckilly he was insured and allthough he admitted liability at the scene his insurance havnt yet, but the police at the time said it very much looks like he was on my side of the road + there are 2 witnesses. Might go for a 2.0i Accord SE Exec and then a BMW when i sue his ass :p
 
Thanks for all of the support guys, as far as compensation is concerned i would imagine im in for a few sheckles.

2 x Broken Ribs
Severe Whiplash (inc magor headaches)
Fratured Scapula (shoulder blade)
Windscreen damage to hand (cuts etc, inc foriegn bodies to small to remove)

+ im going to be off work for a while.

Im just glad that a) I bought a car with a good safety standard and b) my kids wernt with me.

Ill try n upload the 3G vid that was taken at the scene.

I loved it, not the quickest from 0-60mph but once your going the VTEC is great, mrs thought i looked/sounded like a boy racer though.
She looked stunning aswell. Remove the plastic Honda jobbies from the alloys tho.
