    Oh, the pain... the travesty of justice.

    First time I've every suffered from the Blindspot brigade. Really didn't see the car, and I didn't do my standard second glance as I was watching this class huskey dog dragging it's owner along.
    So, there's me pulling casually out onto the road and BANG, straight into the side of a punto.

    Actually hit the car pretty hard, it went spinning off. Poor woman driving was in complete shock. Thankfully nobody got hurt.
    Except my poor car :(

    It's actually not that bad. Surprisingly enough really. Even the dude with the dog said to me afterwards he thought it was going to be a bad one.
    On first inspection, it doesn't look like the bumper is cracked. I def need a new headlight etc on the front left. There's a few things out of shape, but it's gonna depend on what exactly. If the bracket is bent it'll probably cost a good bit.

    Well that's good news anyway. Mind you i'm guessing the Punto didn't get away so lightly, so it'll be an insurance job anyway. Sh1t happens, at least you didn't kill anyone.

    lol, sorry if I led people to believe it was some horrendous crash. The car really isn't bad.... probably cost 2/3k at the worst.

    As for the punto... bit of damage all right, but again, much less than you'd expect if you were watching the crash.

    Oh, and thank god I'm insured with AIG which have a policy that every policy has No Claims Bonus Protection :D
