So off on a nice Easter Weekend drive or so I think, a father and daughter were arguing on the motorway. They fail to see me stop at a giveway sign on the motorway offramp.. so they gave me a nice little shunt in the back, I think I was moving forward slightly so the hit wasn't as hard as it could've been and actually doesn't look too bad in the photos but looks worse in real life :S

I had the wife and my 16 month old boy in there who were both fine, but my other baby got her @ss bent out of shape.

I think a new rear bumper will be required its folded out to the sides of the car, I don't think the chassis was touched but no longer a pristine car :(.. it actually doesnt look too bad on photos but looks pretty bad close up.

Airbags didnt go off either.. the car felt pretty solid when hit, considering the other car was a big 4X4.. luckily it didn't have bull-bars.

oh yeh, hard for them not to. He has fully insurance coverage.
Over here in NZ.. if you hit someone in the rear.. you are at fault.. ALWAYS.. even if I had hit the anchors too hard.. I still would have been in the right..

Got his license number
Got his business card
Got his rego
Got his insurance company name.. will just get mine to talk to him and it'll be sorted.

He was a director of his accounting firm so seems on the up and up.
