My Viper Green Written off in RTA
Lets Roc 
I am glad you are all OK and given that you were rear-ended by a big range rover at 70mph, the fact that the cabin looks pretty much intact with no intrusion is testament to the 'Roc!!
I was thinking the same, the cabin looks amazingly intact considering you were hit at 70mph by a massive car! Sorry about your car but I'm glad you're OK and I hope you manage to get another car back that you're happy with. Feeling pretty safe in my Roc now I've seen these pictures.bitmadmax wrote:How awful
If as you say the driver of the range rover wasn't paying attention, I hope the cops came down hard on them
Funny you Should mention that. One of my mates brother was knocked off his push bike by a land rover discovery at 50mph. Was a serious incident. He is currently in Oxford hospital on life support. Broken most of his ribs, internal bleeding, and broken his neck in multiple places, plus more that I can't remember.BunnyJen wrote:I'm not a fan of 4x4s because of their size.

Lets Roc This really bad, that should be a prison sentence if the driver was at fault, surely! The 4x4 is defiantly insult to injury. I think you should have to do another part to your driving test to be able to drive one it would put some idiots off having to pay more to drive them. 9/10 cases 4x4 are just not needed on the road, when they are involved in accidents the outcome is always really badwhiteDevil_170 wrote:Funny you Should mention that.

I know, I thought the viper green is one of the brightest colours at the moment. It stands out a mile in a car park!acpoynts wrote:The guy seriously couldnt have been looking. Even in lower light levels the Viper Green stands out. Glad you're ok. Shame to loose a nice spec'd model. Most of all you're safe.

The trouble with a 4x4 is when you look at a person stood in front of it the impact points are at the vital organs. If you're hit by a normal lower car generally the impact point is your legs. If the 4x4 has bull bars on top of it you just don't stand a chance! I dread one parking next to me too because I can never get into my car and I dread to think about how they got out of theirs!
