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
