i was going around a corner at 70km/h spend limit 60km it was a long turn coner so hold speed easyily evern 90 maybe. then a lady walked infront of my car i swerved when straight into a drain, blew front right tyre and bent the steering arm, then went up the gutter , diagonal across the whole road 3 lanes, up that rectangle gutter where blew front left tyre, and took out 2 solid steal australia post boxes, where the bumper, the bonnet, the gaurds went to the maximum bent.
In all i was up for bonnet, 2 guards, bumper, all lights, left side door, 2 tyres, 2 rims, steering arm, rack boots, bent chasis in two places, radiator, air-con pumps, 2 bumper brakets, grill, and about $50 of cutting compound , it wasnt my fault and insurance would of road it off, so i called dad he came drove it home, we went to the cop shop told emm i had a accident cause they rocked up like 20seconds after dad drove off. and that there was no-one hurt and the damage was nothing, not report made , and we fixed it our sefl with 2nd parts cause i dont want to see my baby wrote off, and i didnt mind about the $$ i minded about the 2 girls in the back seat, luckily no-one was hurt my shoulders were a bit sore but that was it
