: Hit from behind during lane change

Hi, my girlfriend was driving the MINI today and while doing a lane change from right to left (2-lane, RHD), she got hit by a Kia. Pictures speak for themselves. Oh, the Kia had to be towed away !?

The car is in a repair shop and I'm stuck with a 75BHP Skoda Fabia automatic :(

You can see which is the quality car if the Kia had to be towed away! Your mini got off quite lightly!

Ouch! Could have been a lot worse though. Hopefully nobody was hurt (even Kia drivers have feelings.... you'd hae too :D )

Soon be better though.

How much did that job cost you to be fixed then? Hope the insurance is covering that!

It will cost *me* nothing, my girlfriend will probably have to pay a EUR 155 fee (if it's her fault). The job was about EUR 1400.
