Still pretty shaken up but no1 is hurt, which is the main thing i guess. I was comin along a main road, not speeding but weather conditions werent that good. Woman in front was apparently turning right, but i didnt see her indicating, she slowed down loads so i went to overtake (doing about 40 in a 60 cos i wasnt quite sure waht was going on) and then she turned right just as i pulled out to overtake, and i went into the side of her  My car isnt looking too good, will need a new wing, front bumper, bonnet and the wheels are pointing in different directions. Not sure how bad the non cosmetic damage is, its going to the garage tomorrow to be looked at. The engine is fine, but the engine bay is slightly caved in behind the offside light. The car I hit was an S reg audi A4 saloon, which will need two new doors definately and maybe more but wont find out till tomorrow. As i said a few days ago after finding out my mate died in a crash, please take care on the roads people. (pics will hopefully be up tomorrow)

Pretty much yeah, i know it can be a stupid thing to do but im pretty sure it was my fault anyway. Even if she was indicating, i still went into her, should have just slowed down more.

Steve, the other woman was really nice about it, went back to hers and had a cup of tea and swapped details etc. Gonna try and avoid insurance company if possible cos i need to keep no claims if its possible, i reckon its gonna cost at least a grand to fix damage to both I had a tiny prang in a car park a couple of months ago which cracked the rear bumper on my car and the numberplate of the other, but wasnt anything major.

I nearly did that when i was driving a while ago when i was young, ignorant and retarded.
Went to overtake a couple of cars coz they'd slowed down, didn't realise there was a turning, some guy nearly hit me, but just missed. He got a bit pissed off and followed me for about 20 miles. He overtook me and tried to make me stop. Rather worrying, so i let him go through some traffic lights and turned the other direction.
I got really lucky really.
Sorry to hear about ur motor

I cut up some farmer when I was trying to navigate through doncaster on my first week driving, he chased me down into the KFC carpark and threatend to "Crush my shitty little nova" (which was a 98' corsa breeze) and then backed up and took aim in his defender! lol I shit myself, but when i explained that I didn't know donny it all and i was a new driver, he felt sorry for me and started giving me directions 
Anyway unlucky about the crash, at least the women stayed friendly and that should help you sort this crap out smoothly.
