shut the fuck up you prick. the guys just passed his test and had an accident. why would he lie on the internet? to look hard? to make him faultless?
the guy is 99% telling the truth, maybe a bit of inexperience came into things but if a focus cut him up and slammed on brakes then theres not much he can do than to slam on his brakes.
emergency stops in lessons are nothing like real life. you have an empty road and more time to react to wheel lock up's etc.
when you are put in the position where you have to react and you are not as confident as an experienced driver, you will panic, just like any normal person who was being cautious.
the car looks lovely, feel sorry for you that some complete waste of space has caused the accident and then drove off, he obviously is a little coward who likes to fuck peoples lives up.
hope it's not too big of a job for you mate  and look forward to an update where the car's back on the road

There are so many people who can't spell "Bought" 
Unlucky there, very unlucky indeed. Hope you get it fixed up
The main thing is; you're ok.

theonly way i could see him being cut up was if the focus moved ono the slip ro infront of him and cut him up, causing him o brak and hit thewall.
looks like it could easil of happened that way so get off the guys case!!

Two car lenghts and double that when in bad conditions*

I no this might sound stupuid but i crashed my car the day after i bought it and it wised me up in a second. I felt invincible on the road and i am actually glad i had the crash, as it could have been much worse than a few hundred pound had i kept driving in the manor i was.
Sorry to hear about the crash mate, i no how it is going through all the emotions and your head wrecked all day. ull look back and laugh

Christ some of you lot are dickheads aren't you?
As for a decent paintshop, try Highdown Coachworks and tell them Nick sent you there - always do a good deal and very high standard of work. Good luck.

Do you know how he hit it? The Focus might have cut across his path from the main road onto the slip road in which case it wouldn't be his fault.
