Dickhead in a Vectra decided to take advantage of a gap left in the queuing traffic in the left hand lane but neglected to check the right hand lane which I was using! I got a split sec of warning but with cold tyres, cold road and cold brain I had one choice, stationary Vectra or oncoming traffic. I chose him. Hit at approx 10 mph perhaps with all 4 locked up. Check out how clear his windows are....not!
Damage appears to be front left clam, pretty smashed and a wheel arch liner. Missed the rad, hose, crash structure and the wheel (Fiberglass is tough stuff!) slight mark on the wheel rim but no dink in it. Drives straight and true. Got his details, gave him mine and then he fcuked off rapidly, no reason to doubt it was genuine (I hope!) no witnesses stopped despite the busy traffic and the pedestrians couldn't really see. I did tell him that the rapidly growing pool of coolant probably needed attention but he wasn't interested, fcuk him.
I have bodge taped it back together, pushed the light back in and I am considering going to the Norlog monthly meet in a bit but I'm not sure if thats a good idea.
also one of the guys at work jokingly said does your neck hurt, but I'm not sure TBH, it aches a bit but I also have flu. Going to get it checked anyway to be on the safe side.
barsteward, I was fcuking fuming but remained calm as I didn't want to give him any maneuvering when it came to leaving details.
