Travelling at approx 30 mph (50 Kph) towards a junction. The car coming in the opposite direction turned off across my path. There was nothing I could do. He immediately admitted liability. My car had the driver's side headlight pushed in, bonnet (hood) buckled, fender pushed in, and inner framework rubbing against the fan belt. The other guy was probably worse off, with his radiator emptying instantly onto the road. Mine will almost certainly be a write off, being 7 years old and in poor condition.
Why is it that I have had more close misses and accidents since I started driving legally than I did before? Had I been driving faster, either he would have seen me or I would have passed before he had a chance to turn.
