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
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.

#5: Re: Crashed Today Author: qwert, Location: ukPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:33 pm ---- wouldn't matter if you did get her details. It was your fault
#6: Re: Crashed Today Author: ukskater01, Location: sutton surrey/welwyn garden cityPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:34 pm ---- 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
#7: Re: Crashed Today Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:34 pm ---- 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.
wouldn't matter if you did get her details. It was your fault
surely not if the car infront braked too late?
#9: Re: Crashed Today Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:37 pm ---- even you got her detail you will have to pay for your repair cost. there is no way going to be the front car fault
sorry to hear that.
#10: Re: Crashed Today Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:38 pm ---- Naa. Regardless of the circumstances, if you run into the back of someone its your fault.

#13: Re: Crashed Today Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:44 pm ---- 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
#14: Re: Crashed Today Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:45 pm ---- 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. Last edited by Rob2859 on Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:46 pm; edited 1 time in total
