So let me check this then, as you were the one that swerved, its your fault and not the silly woman not looking? So you cough up for insurance deductible (assuming insured). If she even slightly nudged you then her fault. What a bugger🙁

Insurance was all good. Because she changed without indicating, was classed as dangerous driving. Aparantly she didn't realize i was even there till the bang. I do have to thank her for stopping once she realized what happened. Free plug for Shannon's Insurance! It pays to have a nice agreed value on car plus the salvage rights!!
As for injurys, pretty much where the seat belt ran got broken, collarbone, sternum and ribs. Bit ouchy but fine now and I have a racing harness in my new bug so next time I could do twice the damage. lol.

It is amazing the amount of prangs that occur only where a pole appears.
Not 100 metres back or forward........
Timber of metal they all seem to attract motor vehicles of all types.
I see the seatbelts did exactly as was intended.
Bear onto the big bones protecting your vital organs. Still hurts like a mongrel though.
Glad it wasn't much more serious.
