Hi Guys
As you can see my car was heavily modded by a GTI not my choice obviously
Luckily there where no passengers in the car.
As for me I came away with bruises and a scratch( thank you Peugeot for the safety features)

think it looks worse than it is
Luckily Ihad dropped my son off and Iwas going home doing approx 30-35 mph when this gti came the other way and thats all i can remember until i climbed out of the passenger side
Then I had a nice trip to hospital for an overnight stay
I believe the car could be a write-off so it will have to be another pug as I have done the crash dummy testing now

I have heard of many nasty crashes over the last few months - not good. And as the sun comes out more bikes will be involved!! Use those mirrors people!!  |

And as the sun comes out more bikes will be involved!! Use those mirrors people!! As a biker myself I have to second that! Apparantly the 206 was rated one of the worst cars visibility-wise. It's coz it's got such big A-posts, or is it B-posts or C-posts!! Anyhow, it's the ones by the windscreen  |

Yeah the A post at the front is really bad, there's a hill that goes over a railway line near my house and it turns right at the bottom, as im going down I cannot see any traffic coming towards me until im on the straight which sometimes worries me as there are pot holes on the left of the road which i try to advoid when going home....

Hi all
It was me on the stretcher. I believe the driver done a runner although I cannot confirm that at present also the front passenger had head injuries where she hit the screen(not wearing a seat belt)
No bikes involved or any other cars
I agree with keep a look out for the motor bikes, can be hard to see, especially in London where they are everywhere
