Well this sucks (XPower crash tested) 🙄

[Brettus]

No injuries other than my pride. Stupid set of circumstances with low lying sun, badly parked car and reaching for the sun visor

 

[VAG]

Sorry to read this
I hope it wouldn't take too long for the parts

 

[mg4mc]

Ah, bugger! A write off? It looks like the inner wing and suspension are all out of shape.

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

MG Badge still looks ace M8

On a serious note, really glad your OK.

Must of been a hell of a shock.

"But for the grace of God go I"

Nearly had a similar incident in Low Sun/Wet roads a couple of weeks ago.

Here now, is where you find out how good your insurers are.

Take care Pal, chin up and all that.

I really hope it all gets sorted asap for you.

ALL THE BEST

 

[salty]

Ouch! Glad no injuries. Hope it all gets resolved as quickly as possible.

That will be straight to Copart, with a brandnew car on its way, I'm afraid. As its:-

a) An EV
b) less than 12months old
c) the NS wheel has been knocked back = Cat S

What happened to collision assist?

 

[dsimpkins]

The important thing is you're ok. It sucks, but it can be repaired/replaced, you can't.

 

[Brettus]

Sorry for delay, was getting the admin done. Good point on collision assist, maybe because I swerved it and ALMOST missed it it didn’t try to intervene.
Wishing I’d taken that gap insurance I was talking to my brother about last week
My renewal is gonna look like a phone number too.

 

[lsb777]

Sorry to see this. Glad no injuries. Hope replacement & insurance all works out OK for you.

 

[johnb80]

Thats bad luck, winter sun and anything but a perfectly clean screen is a nightmare. At least youre OK and as others have said it's probably going to be a write off which in many ways is good news, it'll get sorted quicker.

 

[sparkwon]

Terrible news but glad you're ok. That hurts to look at ! Hope you're behind the wheel again with her (or her replacement) really soon.

Gap insurance only kicks in after 12months, as its almost standard on insurance in that in the 1st 12 months they will give you a replacement car or the price you paid for it. About 20 years ago we had a MG stolen (11 month old), the insurance (Aviva) paid out within a week.

 

[CooperS]

I echo what everyone else says, hopefully it all gets sorted soon.

 

[MoDolph]

Oh man, that sucks! We recently had similar due to the Mrs pressing the wrong pedal and launching our trophy into a wall.

Our bodywork damage was very similar, or worse, but, as far as I know, no suspension damage. It isn't a write off and it's been 3 weeks since the repair was authorised.

 

[JonnyG]

So sorry to see that ... but thank goodness no one is hurt which is the main thing to take comfort from at this difficult time.

Hopefully your car will be written off and as said above most insurers will replace like for like within the first year.

 

[Mennox]

Gutted for you mate - hope you get sorted quickly, you will have to keep us updated!

I had a scary moment on the motorway driving home yesterday - was heavy rain and was overtaking a lorry in the right lane (only about 65-70) and the spray literally covered my full windscreen for about 5 seconds and I could not see anything, even with the wipers on full. I think the LKA helped kept me in the lane until I passed it so I was thankful for that.

Ah that’s helpful info to stop me kicking myself just yet thanks!

 

[Tig170]

Don't feel bad, at the end of the day, you're still here! - Hopefully all will turn out well - Best wishes

 

[Rolfe]

Absolutely gutted for you, you must be so upset. But at least nobody was hurt and in the end it's only a car. I hope it's repairable - on the other hand if they really do hand out new cars if yours is written off in its first year, I hope for the best outcome for you.

 

[flapajack]

Ouch. Feel gutted for you. Hope things get sorted out quickly with the insurer.
