Had my first accident this morning, thankfully i am ok but same cant be said about the pulsar 
Got to the end of my lane and was sat at junction to pull out to left, its quite bad junction as main road is a long straight so cars come pretty fast. Briefly looked left and then concentrated on looking if anything was coming from the right and then went to pull out..............
An old man driving a council minibus with disabled kids coming from the left decieded it was a good idea to overtake a highway maintenance van at this moment so was on my side of the road and overtaking over a junction
cant really remember the impact but here are pics of the result
Also it has popped out rear drivers side window aswell 
And to top it off the lady in the vectra behind was so shocked at what she saw the old boy do she stalled her car and went into the back of me and smashed rear bumper too
have got 2 witnessess to say it wasnt my fault and also logged his dangerous driving with the police. nissan are picking car up in the morn but seeing as new bonnets from them are over 1k mark i cant see this car being put back on the road
atleast i am ok but very gutted to say the least, and first time i have cried over a car too
