Saturday afternoon, sold my Corsa.
10 minutes later some STUPID fucking woman drives straight into the back of my Astra!! 
I'm pulled over, in neutral sitting with my foot on the brake, indicator on. Woman, say 200 yards back driving straight towards me. I can remember thinking is she going to stop and let me park or is she going to go around me? Still, driving towards me, I'm starting to think 'oh fuck!!' then BANG!!
Stupid thing was she was way back when I pulled over, so don't know what the fuck she was doing, perhaps in a daydream? Tuning the radio? or just a stupid old bat?
Back bumper is completely smashed up, the boot is bent and has been pushed up therefore bending the back of the shell slightly. Guess I'll just have to wait until it's looked at to see how much damage is done. The other thing is my neck is killing me now too she must of smacked me at about 35mph staight on, gonna go doctors later and see if I can claim off her insurance for it.
She was the typical woman that I say shouldn't be allowed on the road. When I got out of the car to assess the damage she was there balling her eyes out. Wanted to have a go but didn't have it in me.

My reaction was to storm out of the car with my arms held open shouting 'What the fuck are you doing?'
Then saw it was a women and was crying so felt bad, then looked at the back of my car then I felt like crying.
Probably gonna take ages to get sorted as well.

Bad luck matey. Reminds me of when that cnut ploughed into the back of the Corsa. Go to your doctor, tell them you've been in an accident and get him to note all your symptoms. Keep going regularly for check ups until all the pain has gone. That way it's all documented when the insurance guys come to look at any medical claim

Just had a call from Diamond insurance. 
Very apologetic, they are accepting full responsibility and are supplying me with a courtesy car as well. Gotta ring up Tescos now and tell them to drop the call and that diamonds sorting it all out.

Thrashing a courtesy to death is one of the compensations when some smashes your car
