    thanks and I will but the earliest I can go is monday or tuesday :(

    If you're worried then go to A&E.

    Otherwise I'd ring the out of hours GP/NHS Direct.

    im so stupid, I didn't get any information from the driver because there wasn't any damage to either of our cars so I thought I didn't need to.

    Bet your glad it wasn't your precious Audi or Beemer that got hit?! :D

    We've all been there, it's good to aim high and have achievable dreams, it's what keeps us motivated. I thought of getting a 1Series myself last year but after saving the money for a year I couldn't part with it, bought an Eco Citroen C1 instead :D, ins is £150 and tax £20 a YEAR! Now I save towards a deposit on my first home. If I bought the car I would still be saving for the insurance, quoted at £1100 fully comp(26, 6yrs NCB).


    Get your neck checked over ASAP and best of luck at uni.

    going to see my GP on Monday and Im going to the police station to file a report tomorrow.

    I am glad it wasn't my "precious Audi or Beemer" :rotfl: but as I stated before, this accident wasn't my fault so I couldn't have avoided it no matter what car I was driving :(

    Im really put off driving now.

    Don't be put off, go for a spin in your local area for a bit, you'll soon get your mojo back. You can't avoid bad drivers, you can only do your best to swerve out the way :D

    Sorry to hear that K, glad you're getting the neck checked.

    Take the car for a spin this afternoon, get back on that horse!
