Yea. Was coming up the road (check the sketch) There was a line of traffic turning left and i was turning right further down. And she came out of the keep clear sign and went straight in front of me. No air bags went off though.

Dad just looked at it and he has said get a view of that junction on Google maps and has said show the impact points and final rest points
Btw he's a safety manager and crash investigator for Lang Mead farms :-)
He said its very similar to a case he had involving a very expensive Ferrari 355 and a tractor lmao
Although putting those into it it would be your car at fault, odd I know

They have already called me to say they are at fault. Also the google maps is old and the junction had been changed.

The filter lane starts futher back down the road to where it is on the map

Look at it this way, when you get your payout you can buy a car that runs on proper fuel!

You'd have been fine if you had 4 pots...
All jokes aside, I'm glad to hear you're okay as that looks pretty nasty. If your back isn't feeling good make sure you get yourself checked out very soon (i.e. within the next couple of days).
