Im fine thanks guys! Dont have any pics of the vectra, didnt think it would be appropriate whilst the fire engine were cutting the guy out for me to take pictures. Engine was in the hedge, was too dark to take pics on the night, recovery picked it up..
Apparently they are designed to break up like it did to prevent more damage, such as more weight coming into the dash of the car and then crushing driver and passengers.
PS. Any parts you fancy, look at my thread 'Clear out' selling loads of bits.

First off, I am glad you are okay, that's one hell of a crash.
But this is where the whole war on speed is having an adverse effect on driving. Even though you weren't speeding and breaking the law, you've said it was slippery and you lost control. So you were going too fast. But because you weren't breaking any limits the police have no problem with it.
Not having a go at you, but rather the system. It's set up to punish high speed as the only cause of accidents like this, when it isn't the case.

LOL.
And if you were a super hero, we'd call you Super Yawn.

In fairness, and I'm sure you will agree, you lost control of your car as it was going too fast, you didn't realise this until it was too late, that's fair enough, we all have accidents.
You'll see a lot of comments like this:
As some people, the above being a prime example, believe they are holier than thou, and accuse you of driving stupidly, even though they were not there, and did not see the accident. And they of course never, ever drive dangerously themselves...

I dont think we needed to see the accident.... the aftermath is enough, as was his comment that it was a head on.
Yes, some of us exceed the speed limit at times, but we know the correct time and place to do it.
His comment that it was a head on, and the pictures of the vehicle don't tell you that he drives like a plank.
Arguably he was going too fast, I think he has said that himself, but that does not mean he is a total idiot on the roads.
Worth pointing out, that there is never a correct time or place to break the speed limit.
I don't claim to never have sped, but I'm well aware that it's illegal, don't confuse yourself with the idea that "speeding because the road is dry and empty" makes it okay.

And about if the guy was driving inapropriately, there are 60mph limit roads in the uk and he may have been on one.
So he may well have not been speeding but just caught out by an unseen hazard. Thats all it takes.
I was doing 40mph last night down a normal 40mph road when somebody parked on the left facing the way of the traffic decided to do a u turn with no indication or lights or warnings or life saver checks, luckily i missed him by a c**t hair, that close that we both sat at the side of the road for two minutes until our hearts had jump back down our throats. If id of hit him it would of been a mess. A mistake, but no one was speeding or all out being a royal t**t. Were human and mistakes happen.

That looks scary! I was going to ask about the safety of clio's. From this picture and the fact you are still alive the answer is clear. Very very lucky indeed!
How Illegal is speeding?
Depends if it's "the correct time and place" or not.
