Last night I was driving along and went round a roundabout with the intention of taking the third right and as I go past the first left which comes off the single carrageway WALLOP . A nice Merc E class thought she didn't have to look or slow down and decided to add her car to the side of mine .

I think she hit me about 40/50mph and from what I can tell from the damage its the front wing , wheel pretty much snapped off , suspension hissing , bent the shaft , front wing , both passenger doors are caved in and wont shut , metal side step snapped off and some bending on the floor. Cant remember but I think the window smashed :confused:

The Merc had a busted everything at the front and an airbag on the womans face .
I got out and checked the woman and she was ok .


Lucky the kids wheren't in the car and lucky I was in the Volvo and not my car as I dont think I would have walked away from it .

I recieved a phone call from the insurance company this morning saying shes called them and admitted full responsability for the accident as well and I have a nice courtesy car aswell mid day today but I only have it till tomorrow as its developed a fault with the OBC so shall be exchanged for something else tomorrow. It's a nice 535D and from just half a day I like it very much .


I shall go and get some pictures when I get my items in the next few days .
 
XC90 iirc? Glad to hear you're ok, nice work by the other driver to hit you at that sort of speed though!
 
Glad to hear that she admitted responsibility, I was expecting to hear yet another tale of woe as another scumbag tries to see what they can get away with.

Result on the hire car too :)
 
At least the other party admitting liability makes things nice and simple from your point of view, happened to me in November and everything went extremely smoothly, was all sorted out in under 3 weeks.
 
Good news you are ok and that she put her hand up to it

almost daily I watch women at round abouts look anywhere other than right and then jump out of their skin when I beep at them, one woman the other day actually looked annoyed I'd disturbed her makeup application session.

life support for fannys, that's it

I went round the one at the bottom of my road the other day, have to come back on myself to enter my road, and she had to brake sharply as she didnt spot me until the last minute, and then when she came past me in the traffic, was mouthing off in her car and everything. Some people really don't have a clue.

It is some mental damage to a tank of a Volvo , Should have some pics tomorrow and will upload them when I have them .

On a good note I still have the BMW as they fixed the problem with a bit of magic this morning :D

Nearly ended up with a 300c lol
 
I wasn't going to say that at all! :p

Just for some reason I thought you had one of those Korean dishwasher things, dunno why. Ignore me. :o
