#1: Devestated Author: treaders89, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:49 pm ---- Got stuck in traffic on the M1 Saturday. Came to a stop behind a saab. Some little fellow decided to plough straight through my beautiful 2.0 GLX 206 which I loved dearly. The back end is caved in and front end smashed up on the Saab. Can't believe it, such a nice car wasted because some idiot wasnt looking at the road! It's sure to be a w/o
Luckily he was insured. Don't think I'll have a nice 206 like that though, but I'm looking for a 'new' one....
bugger

#10: Re: Devestated Author: treaders89, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:42 pm ---- Indian guy from Belgium. Luckily, he is insured. If he wasn't insured, he would end up looking my car does right now...

No the t**t was the guy who hit me thank you very much. I was stationary, and nothing was behind me when I braked (yes I check my mirrors). He came screaming up, and was telling his kids to be quiet, then turned around around to find my 206 in his face.....
#12: Re: Devestated Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:52 pm ---- This very nearly happened to me in the Winter. Watched some silly woman lose control of her car and come careening towards to back of mine in the rearview at a roundabout queue. She braked so hard that her car fishtailed and stopped about an inch from the back of mine. She looked sheet white and had her hands over her mouth. Hopefully she now pays more attention to the road.
Sorry to hear about your car. I still think foreign drivers should take a mini driving test before being allowed to drive in this country. Especially lorry drivers.
#13: Re: Devestated Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:56 pm ---- Holy s**t that hit with some force glad you are alright
#17: Re: Devestated Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 12:49 am ---- so sorry about that,it looks so bad,glad you are OK,you will find another nice 206

Totally agree!
The guy who caused the crash has admitted full liability. Good job too, or he probably wouldnt be alive right now. Therefore, he is responsible for both car's he damaged.
Cheers for your kind words too guys, but Im not going to forget this one easily!
#19: Re: Devestated Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:41 am ---- Did you put your hazards on when braking to a stop on the motorway? Might have helped.
#20: Re: Devestated Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:06 am ---- IIRC on the later models the hazards cut in if you brake hard enough.
#21: Re: Devestated Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:07 am ---- That was quite a shunt, shows just how strong these little cars are. Glad everyone was OK. Don't forget to make a note of any uninsured losses. It's the Belgians that will end up paying more on their insurance for this one.
Don't be too downhearted though, a bit of filler, a rattle can, put on an east european accent and I'm sure that someone will buy it.

It would have helped if he looked forward. If I had the hazards on, it would have made no difference. He was facing the rear seats, telling his kids to be quiet. Its a shear miracle he kept the thing straight
#23: Re: Devestated Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:35 am ---- Looks like a sizeable insurance claim for whiplash, anguish etc..... you'll be driving an M3 after a claim like that
