Clio
Was going downhill very slowly in snow/ice, coming down to a 90* bend, the lorry infront stopped on the corner, so i applied my brakes abs clicking away [not that it helped].
Had two choices,
1. Try and steer around the lorry onto the pavement and hope i stop before hitting a wall or whatever was about.
or
2. Just keep on slidding towards the lorry.
Well I decided slidding towards the lorry was the way forward, as it was a populated area near a shop so there could be little kids etc and the last thing I want is to hit a kid or anyone else just because I dont want to scratch the car!
Well into the back of a lorry I go, hit some sort of metal bar on the back. Pulled over the guy comes out his lorry asked if I was ok, looked at his lorry, no damage, looked at my car and well you can kinda guess theres damage.
He didnt want an insurance details as there was no damage to his vechicle. I didnt bother asking for his details even though my car was damaged, there wasnt much point as it was something out of his or my control.
Im now left with a scratched bonnet, dislodged headlight, front bumper cracked and concaved inwards. I just hope its all cosmetic and not structual damage.
Im also TPFT so can't claim it, which is a bit of a bummer. So if someone PM's me i'll give you my address, and maybe you can come and nick my car and burn it for me?
On my way back I saw a police car come round the same corner skidding, hit the curb almost hitting a parked car, but he managed to save it. Both the coppers were just laughing, not a care in the world i guess as its not their car.
I guess ive learnt a lesson, so im kinda glad it happened in a way.
