On my way home yesterday i saw a lorry pull out in front of me but all in good time so i slowed down and as i came to the junction a bmw or summit just pulled out infront of me and i had to slam my brakes on and just missed it. Horrible feeling

Was the signpost traveling in front of or behind the lorry? 
I guess the moral of the story is keep a safe distance from the car in front, had Alison been doing that the accident might not of happened.
At least she didn't get damaged in the process.

The signpost was in front of the lorry. I hit the post first then landed on the road.
The lorry then hit me so i was horizontal across both lanes.
The lorry didn't have enough time to completely stop, glad he wasn't going any faster tho!
I was a bit away from the car in front but as soon as i saw heavy breaking it was an automatic reaction.
Think front wheels were at a slight angle and back end then flipped out!
Can't really remember exact details, it all happened so quickly. Was so excited about getting a bad boy bonnet etc. Ah well watch this space, there may be another corsa in the family yet!!
