There's currently road works on the corner of Regency Rd & South Rd.

I was travelling East on Regency Rd in the middle lane - I could see as I passed Days Road that the speed limit had dropped to 25kph and I was slowing down - and then the traffic in front of me was stopped - so I stopped too.

I look back in my rear view mirror, and see a mid 90's silver Mitsubishi Lancer travelling at what must have been at least 60kph, he wasn't slowing down and didn't seem to see me. I hit my horn, and I saw him lock his brakes up - but there was no chance for him to stop. Thankfully I'd left a decent big gap between me and the ute in front of me, and I was pushed forward pretty hard, but yeah, didn't hit him.

I'm still pretty shaken up. I didn't think I was injured at the time, but by 2pm, I'd realised my side was hurting, my back was aching, my neck didn't turn right and my wrist is sore - so I've made an appointment with my GP at 4:50pm. I also have an appointment at a solicitor who deals with car accident personal injury tomorrow morning at 10am.

This wasn't the way my day was supposed to go... Thankfully I have an agreed value with Shannons, I just hope it's going to cover enough to get me another car. I honestly can't see it's repairable - the roof line is bent, the rear doors don't shut properly.

I take it the wanker in the lancer wasn't insured? Hope your injuries aren't too severe and you can get some coin together...

Really sucks knowing how much work you've put into that car. At least the rims are OK :P - Time to strip your mods out and get a GTR!!

-D

Damn hope that you are alright and nothing too major. On the other side of things I hope that the insurance company plays nice and just gives you what you deserve and not the fooling around they do half the times. Time to start selling some parts off and hopefully get into something better sooner. GTR on the cards maybe :P
