A bloody commodore driver with a tow bar decided that a full emergency stop for an amber light was a good idea. The brembo's which were cold and the front of my car decided that they didnt think an emergency stop was a good idea and thus had a small but painfull meeting with her bumper and tow bar.

Oh damn... same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, however I was the one that did the braking... Came over a crest and a taxi was still with its hazard lights on... wtf!! Braked, ABS kicked in, and I stopped with about 4m to spare, then short screech and thud into the back of me!
I swear, a lot of people need to retake their driving and awareness tests again!!
Sorry to read about this mate, but hopefully insurance will do its thing and fix it all up!

What i dont get is why she needed to do a full abs stop for a just gone amber light??? She and about 3 more car behind me would have made it throught the lights. Half her car was in the intersection by the end of it.
But at the end of the day, i ran up her bum and thats my fault!! Atleast now i will have a nice new shiney front end in about 2-3 weeks

when i crashed a previous car i think it took about 5-6 weeks to get fixed.
i guess it depends how bad the crash is and where the parts need to be sourced from. maybe guys that have been involved in an accident in their libs can share how long theirs have taken to get fixed?
