minor RTC i think

Post by tildesley »

hello all

was driving round a roundabout earlier and a driver thought it would be a good idea to not brake when approaching the roundabout, and they crash into the rear side.

so what was damaged? not a lot, scratches on the left side, slightly more inclined than it was before, the left back alloy is heavily all scratched up, tyre looks ok. they cant have bit me at a great deal of pace but im concerned about the suspension, would a full on hit, not at any serious pace cause suspension problems? i drove it home, like 2 miles or so, no warning lights on etc, so im assuming i got lucky...

what do you guys think?

Hopefully you took this numpties details. Contact the insurance company and let them deal with it. If you are not at fault it wont cost you and the repairers should check out the damage
If you see S9 CTC driving around give us a wave I do 40,000 miles a year it gets lonely out there

You definitely want a full tracking check as part of the repair process, if a pothole can alter teh tracking, i'm sure a low speed side impact can too.
