Some women went into me

[Christophe]

I was at the front of a round about waiting to go and suddenly someone smacked into the back of me. I shat myself as thought the damage will have been bad. Anyway we both pulled over and i checked my car and there isn't even a single scratch.

Checked this morning in the light and looked under the carpet in the boot and all seems ok. cant see anything. I think the reason no damage is because when she went into me i didnt have my handbrake on or have my foot on the brake so it would have just pushed me. luckily no one was infront of me though.

Any thing i should check ? I think i'm very lucky as it hit the car hard.

 

[NWPerformance]

How fast was she going?

 

[Jonff]

Did you exchange insurance details though? I know you said there was no damage but it's always worth doing incase you find some damage in the near future.

 

[Christophe]

she must have been going about 15mph maybe. i dunno as it was a busy roundabout so maybe not that but it was quite hard. Had i had my brake on it would have done some serious damage. I got her number and she said to call her if there is any damage. She seemed pretty shook up and she could have driven off as i had to pull over on another road and she followed

 

[Munson]

15mph and no damage? I think you're overestimating her speed.

Anyway, lucky this time eh.

Oh god.

 

[Davey182]

Yeah you need to check the gaps between panels, especially where your rear bumper connects.

 

[NWPerformance]

I would give her a call and get her insurance details incase like jonff said

really hard to tell. Ye defo lucky but i am worried i might have damage that isn't visible. Me being paranoid i guess.

 

[Christophe]

i checked where the bumper connects to the back wings and they havn't been bent or disconnected at all.

Thats whats wrong with this country!

 

[Christophe]

her car was a scenic and she dint have any damage either which was odd

 

[AlexS]

Call in to your local friendly body shop and get them to check the boot floor etc just for piece of mind, it sounds like you've got away ok with it, these things happen unfortunatly.

 

[Christophe]

she was nice and was pretty gutted dont want to make her life worse by claiming whiplash when there wasn't. Only thing i did think about was my exhaust bracket has been broken for a while and never been arsed to pay for a new one lol.

i cant see anything on the boot floor. but might pop into the body garage still. Is it really bad if they find a slight crease?

 

[AlexS]

A creased boot floor can write off a Clio 2, unlikely in this case but well worth checking.

 

[Christophe]

really even if it doesnt effect the car. How creased would it have to be

 

[Tom_90]

plastic body panels ftw!

edit: absorb the impact!

 

[Peperami]

How many women we talking?

Im sure ive seen a film like this.

 

[Sym0n]

I went into a woman once.

 

[Christophe]

lol sorry woman

 

[Marky_]

^Pics?

 

[AliasOmega]

The energy has to go somewhere..

Have it checked out..

Sigh, your one of those then.

Can mods/admin start a rule - people that promote this s**t get insta-perma-bans?

Lucky though.

 

[Christophe]

true but as i had no handbrake or foot on the brake i guess that transfered into the wheels. Plus i was proably edging forward aswell as i was at the front of the roundabout

 

[Aluco]

Look underneath your rear bumper, it might not be apparent especially if your car is dirty..

There is like foam in the rear bumper, check it hasn't squashed it or cracked any clips. I'd be surprised if its done absolutely nothing.

 

[Christophe]

where abouts is this foam stuff in relation to the bumper? Will have alook

 

[mace¬]

Lucky if there is no damage, but at 15mph I would expect some.

Also....... The thread title would have been so much better in GC.

 

[Christophe]

ye sorry if in wrong section

 

[mace¬]

I was joking mate..... the part of women going into you would make a great General Chat thread.

 

[Christophe]

Imagine you are stood still in traffic. Then the car in front moves forward a bit you accelerate and forget to brake. Kinda like that

lol

Full of sick c***s iirc.

 

[Growler]

Check the boot floor by the spare wheel well. Something similliar happened to my missus recently in her 1.2 and it cost over £1500 to put right.

 

[JCC]

Take it to a bodyshop, get them to check it, then you know for sure.

 

[SC03OTT]

She probably wasn't going anywhere near 15mph. I hit a wall once in my Clio. I was rolling backwards at literally walking pace. The noise was unreal. Sounded like the back window had smashed and everything. But there was only a scratch from the wall, nothing else.

 

[BenMc]

id ask for the pannels to be changed... it likes a motor bike helmet even if you drop it n seems there no damage there is really due to weakening...
