Well, it had to happen...
So I was sat in a queue of traffic at a round-about, some twenty cars from the front when I noticed a bright light in my mirror. I just managed to glance up to see a speeding Land Rover Discovery (complete with bull bars) driving towards the back of my car with the young lady engaged in both a text and a conversation with her friend.
Sadly... that was the driver.
The resulting 20 mph crash fairly well pranged up the back of my Saab. But I suffered NO whiplash injuries, which really impressed me.
More impressive was the news that the Land Rover was written off! So severe was the damage to its front end.
So whilst I’m sorry for the young lady who hit him (she was really very upset) I’m kind of happy that yet another gas guzzling tonka toy is off the road. Incidentally, the price for the parts required to fix my car came to over TWO THOUSAND POUNDS! Equating to little more than a new bumper, sensors, boot and lights. I can’t imagine the cars worth much over double that... so it must have been pretty touch and go for my car getting the boot!
Sadly that Ferrari will just have to stay in the show room (JOKE!).
