Last Friday's fun and games. I was turning right off a national speed limit A road. Indicate right, brake, begin to turn and before I know it a Transit has climbed up over my front drivers side wheel and is hurtling into the hedge, still at least doing 50mph+.
Apparently, despite it being an almost straight section of road, the car being big and red, and having brake lights on, and indicating, he didn't see me until the last minute He was a good 50-60 yards behind me when I started indicating so to have no seen or slowed, I'm not convinced he was actually looking out of the windscreen.
What's not seen in the images is the impact ripped off the track rod and possibly more damage behind that. Can't see it being a cheap fix.

I've NEARLY had that same accident 4 times in 4 years - turning off an A road onto a single track sideroad that leads up to my house.Apparently, despite it being an almost straight section of road, the car being big and red, and having brake lights on, and indicating, he didn't see me until the last minute He was a good 50-60 yards behind me when I started indicating so to have no seen or slowed, I'm not convinced he was actually looking out of the windscreen.

Twice I've actually commenced turning in and had to straighten up and stop.
