    He also said non of the safety devices deployed. No airbags, exploding bolts on seatbelts. Nada.

    He kept on saying how lucky I was. And I mean kept on. I had to ask him to pack it in, in the end.

    Feel quite tearful now.

    Brain damage can be hard to spot.

    We must be alert for early signs of poorly defined requirements, followed by disengaged stakeholders, and then inevitable project failure.

    If its not driveable (Drivers decision, in absence of a professional supplied by insurance company opinion) its awaiting repair. they are taking the mick.

    I'm sure it will be required. Everyone is at it these days so why not join in and collect the free money? I believe £5k is about the amount that they don't query because it's cheaper for them to settle than to contest (so I heard on R4 IIRC).

    Ouch, my neck

    Glad to hear you are ok

    Get an accident management firm involved: they will sort you out a hire car & bill the other driver’s insurance (as it’s his fault) & they will do any whiplash claim should it be required.

    Look at the positive side, they're stuck in the room and can't escape to the bar because there's a **** in there.
