Car Has been Written off again!

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
TBH looking at the damage then at the type of area the car was in it is hard on the face of it to belive that much damage resulted from only going 20mph.
Also how did the other car miss you if you were only doing 20mph? Surely the police would ask what speed she was doing going out the junction to push you into a spin......
As you say insurance will pay out and our insurance prems will rise

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
that is a hell of a lot of damage for 20mph! your crash bar & engine are made of cheese or it wasn't 20mph

The police was on the scene pal and the officer said he is going to try get here done for driving without care. I had 3 witnesses who watched the whole accident.

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
For those of you who dont think a 20mph crash can cause that much damage to a car at I suggest you go an crash you clio into something hard at 20mph and see how it fairs up. I garuntee you it will be fucked beyond beleif. I hit a tree stump with only the drivers front wheel of my Zetec's at 25mph and it absolutley totaled the shell. I cracked my ribs and had bloody bad whiplash, 25mph to nothing in an instant is quite a speed to crash at.

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
My point exactly. At 20mph there is no way you would have "gone into a spin"
I agree, 20mph head on will cause a lot of damage. But he wasn't driving head on into the barriers, he was *allegedly* travelling at 20mph perpendicular to them when a car came out of a side road and hit the side of his car (and did very little damage to it) which then sent him into a spin and he hit the barrier. The momentum of his car would still be carrying it forwards, not into the barrier, at *20mph*
You know what? I can't be bothered trying to explain. I can see, as can several others, what must have happened. The attending Police will go for the easiest option - the other driver came out of a side road without stopping so she is at fault. The OP's premium will go up next year regardless, and in another year he'll add another "my car got wrote off again" post and you will all feel sorry for him again. Unless he kills someone this time in which case you will all be calling him a tool.
Which he is.
End of story.

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
Loller, find a new job mate because you clearly know nothing.
Even as an assessor I can see what happened, it's also part of my job to determine true accident circumstances.
You never mentioned how strong the front of a Fiesta is, it isn't. 10/15mph into a barrier would do some damage, it would be like hitting a brick wall, they are designed no to move.

I think that this kind of reply was unnecessary for the development of this thread.

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again!
So the barriers are designed to be hard, like a brick wall. And yet look at the damage his "20mph" impact has done to them. And then remember that the offending car spun him so he lost control and went into the barrier. He didn't hit them at the speed he was travelling forward at, he spun first, remember?I'm sure the 3 witnesses will back up his account of only doing 20 mph though, and everyone will be happy. Except everyone whose insurance premiums will go up yet again.Nothing to do with me, I'm just offering my opinion (based on 17 years of experience and training)

s**t luck mate, my first clio was written off in similar circumstances.
BTW I live literally 2 minutes up the road from where this accident took place (just before Saltaire roundabout near *****'s pub judging by the pictures) and at that time of day it would be virtually impossible to go any faster than 20mph. I'm amazed you managed that speed tbh, its gridlock central usually.
