What a shame Alf, but glad you're OK. Strange the airbags didn't deploy.

Shame to see it happen, but at least you're OK!

[Terbs]

Struth, Tim.....glad you are ok.
Real shame about the tractor, I shall miss it. You have to get another one

Crikey. Good that you got out unscathed. Airbags? I often wonder if they work after a certain age.

Hope you get enough insurance payout to buy another.

Thanks for all your kind words, I am looking out for another TD miggy but for the time being I have bought a cheap Focus estate (what a piece of poo it is in comparison) but wisely i have invested in a Balaclava so no bugger sees me driving it, I suppose for the 7 years I got out of my deceased £300 miggy I cant complain too much, Oh & by the time the insurance took their lump out of the claim i was left with £100 the thieving b**tards .

Looks nearly as bad as the crash which wrote off my Senator a few years ago.Very glad you're ok That's one thing about these big Vauxhalls when it comes down to it they don't half seem to look after their occupants

Normally airbags don't deploy below 40 mph as they can do more harm than good, although I'm not sure this was below 40. With regards age, the drAudi I had, had a sticker in the window saying the airbags should be replaced after 14 years. Not sure how true that is.

The thing was i was only doing about 30 MPH as I has only just come off a roundabout 50 yards back from a stationary start, A guy that saw it & stopped said that that bit of road was notoriously bad in the wet, He even told the Police I was not doing any sort of speed.

It shows, Tim, its not always speed. Speed, though is always the first thought of many a policeman, in whatever situation. And, indeed, need a lot of convincing to the opposite.
Last monday, similar to your experience, I was on the roundabout at Hook, just off the M3, and going slowly....the arse spun round unexpectantly, put the fear of god up me and swmbo. Luckily, I had plenty of road to get it back, otherwise I am sure it would have been my pictures along with yours.
Lucky you had a witness, mate.

Sorry to see/hear this Alf, but as said, glad you're intact

Isn't someone up Chester way preparing an oilfueled estate shell for recycling? Might even be the same colour
