Birthday Crash

Today is my birthday and what better way to celebrate than to have my car written off. Someone decided to pull out in front of me without looking. I managed to miss him and an oncoming telegraph pole. However, I busted three wheels and damaged the front and rear left corners of my car and because the car isn't worth that much it's probably a write off. Grrr Arrgh. Below is an exact, to scale recreation of the accident.

Fantastic video! It just goes to prove that lego has so many uses - and if it goes to court surely the judge would be impressed. Hopefully all will get sorted quickly :-)

That was one rotten birthday present. I agree with your brother that the judge will be very impressed.

I think the only solution is to get rid of all the cars in the world.

Hey Nathan,

I'll be up for a car free world. I don't really like the things. I had an almost identical accident about five years ago, again I was not at fault, wrote off the car and in retrospect wouldn't have been able to do anything differently. I'm still really annoyed that although it only takes 25mins to drive to work that it is impossible to get to work before 9am or leave after 5pm using public transport.
