This afternoon I was driving and the winter sun was blinding in front of me - I could barely see even though I had sunglasses on - it was about 3.30pm and it was just so low it was eye level. Anyway I was driving really along and then suddenly this lorry smashed into the back of me. It was so loud I honestly thought a bomb had gone off. I was in shock and dazed, but luckily Mr Smow was in passenger seat. Turns out lorry driver was also completely blinded by the sun and just smashed into me.Have whiplash, hurt left leg and cars a mess but could have been much worse. Was really frightening though.
Well I've got a little red Mini and this was a lorry so you can imagine the sound when it hit. Was shaking for ages but yes could have been much worse. Lorry driver was very very apologetic.
Glad it wasn't worse than that, Smow ( especially it being a lorry that hit you).
The winter sun in your face is terrible it always seems so low in the sky.
Gosh, you're so lucky, I don't know would i be able to come online after that and tell us, did ye get checked for shock or anything? I hope you're having a hot drink or something for the shock, saying that, I'm glad you're here and sort of ok.
It's a convertible(roof was up obviously) . Back all smashed and can't open boot. Need garage to inspect it. Not sure what they will say. Ironic thing is a police car was in traffic behind us and just pulled out and just drove past.
