Hi,

Well, driving along behind a Range Rover Sport, next thing I know, it brakes and attempts a late 90 degree right turn up a lane. Due to the late braking and the snowy weather, I skid right into the back of it. It was on a hill too which didn't help.

Pictures that you all love Crying or Very sad

And to make it worse, there car had a scratch. Literally, a scratch. So she didn't bother exchanging details much to my dismay. I got her private number plate. Speaking about people either think it she was un-insured hence the quick get away, or her and her husband were drug dealers and wanted away before the police were involved.

Car eventually started and managed to get it home (wasn't far away). Mechanic looked at it for a few seconds and said it looks like alots been damaged, and basicly a whole new front.

Really not happy.

At least your ok, probably didn't wanna stop as it would be hard to prove who was at fault and could of gone 50/50 with insurance. Although usally if you go into the back of someone it's your fault

Honestly, I am so angry about it. NOT what I needed. Need a new radiator and its p**sing fluid out, new lights, bonnet, fan, upper grille and the front 'arms' are bent as Graham Norton so needs a new frame. A lot of work.

Surely it's a case of not stopping at an RTA? which is illegal? The fact you got her plate I would contact the police

doesn't look that bad in the pics. get the rad fixed and take it around a few bodyshops. Make sure you shop around. got any pics of under the bonnet? my mate recently hit the back of a land rover. Again just a scratch but it wrote his off. They are still built like tanks.

@ Seabook Yeah both your comments are right, regardless of that facts, the police and insurance would blame me. And it won't be cheap at all
