:cry: gutted for you. i assume you got the police involved (though my faith in wrexham police is zero!) have they said who is to blame?

when i got rear ended by a transit at well over the limit, they couldnt prosecute because no independent witnesses came forward. :-(

sorry to hear about this, but one of my pet hates is people doing what u did. I usually give a good beep and a f**koff and pull back gesture and drive as close to the front of the car to get the point home.

It's always going to be their fault if youre not speeding either

I know its annoying when someone sticks their nose out for no need (I glare or toot if they jump out and make me brake)

But there are a lot of junctions where you really do need to have the front 3rd of the car in the road to see whats coming. (living in wales and the lake district you get used to them)
