Mate i posted pics cos i thought people might be interested. Not to get told off. Have you seen me denying that at any point? I realised my stupidity without you reminding me.

Speed and wet road eh (dont say not cause we all it was, we are not stupid)!
Oh well at least you should learn something from it.
1. Speed + corner + wet road = crash.
2. Speed + corner + wet road + braking = crash.
No airbag didn't go off surprisingly painz.

My mate had a similar accident in his Corsa C, well he hit an oncoming car, and the air bags deployed.
Can i ask - Did you get done for dangerous driving or anything?

Stables in kirki escortgti.
Traffic had a good look and told me exactly what had happened through looking at my skidmarks and finding pieces of headlight about 100 yards before my car came to a stop. Didn't do anythin but i assume cos nobody else was involved. Think it was prob the angle i hit the wall that stopped the airbags.

My dads car was wrote off (rear ended), and while it was inspected they said, anything he takes out, will be deducted from the final payout. He's getting £2k less than what he bought it for - £13500. But new Hyundai Coupe's have been going for £12000 recently.

Lol. Think it might only be a monetary write off though. I'm sure i'll see it back on the road. Not sure what the regi was, SJ52 HGX maybe.
