####ing devastating that is man like what everyone else said if that guy was the driver of the other car lol don't supris me either that a wank like that pulled out infroont of ya

Serious damage ay can't believe the airbag didnt go off at a 80km hit and also the bloody headlights didn't even smash lol they must be built solid.

Well, Fun day so far....

Someone decided to pull out infront of me and BAM, only a little time to put my foot on the brake.

Hasent been assesed yet, but looks like it will be a repair job. (****!!!)

I'm Hoping for a write off...

Air Bag didnt go off! Kinda annoyed at that.
And my little camera was damanged aswell.. trying to get a viedeo recording of the accident off now.

Sorry about the smash and I'm glad nobody was hurt, as an experienced smash repairer I would say that you hit him at about 30-40km/h, I say this because if you were driving 30km/h and aimed your drivers side headlamp directly at a wooden street pole I gaurantee the ve will be classified as a write off, but please people do not try this to write off your cars as it can cause serious injury and even death, though you all might think 30k's is to slow to cause a write off, but statistics say that even a car travelling at 100km/h usually brakes roughly 4 meters from impact which dramatically reduces your speed on impact.

The other driver is a lucky man........ id say you probably saved his life with some good reflexes. As others have said It looks like you braked harder than you think

 

[ari666]

thats a write off for sure

LOLWUT?!?!

op, dont listen to this guy it hasnt touched the roof, sills or pillar. just a couple of guards, bonnet, rad support. itll be fine. dont worry.

^^ I dont think you get it - a write-off is good, it means you get a new car

 

[walesy]

yeah it is good to be written off... but this is NOT a write off, well i cant be 100% sure because i havnt seen it in person nor am i qualified to say so but IMO it will be repairable

definitely not a write off. once roof is crumpled though, then that's when things get very expensive because chances are the subframe is bent too.
but least all the damage is up front. side damage normally results in doors that dont close properly and wind noise as time goes on.
interested to see video (if possible).
