was a big shock especially for her she has only just passed her test    the dealer we bought the car from has a few newish corsas so off to buy another one tomorrow although should get a decent pay out from insurance so will cover the cost of new one   they wont give her a courtesy car as she has only just passed her test :-?

Have you still got the Fiat?.... :D :D

Seriously though the main thing is that she is OK, a car is, after all, only a piece of metal that can be replaced, however much she may have loved it.... :y

Lovely to hear she was ok and |I bet its a great relief. Luckily kids are fairly resilient and are quick learners so this will be a bit of a lesson, albeit one she could have done without.
What is being done about the plonker who rammed her? Not just a slapped wrist I hope. The full book needs to be tossed and a full extended retest of the sod before he/she is allowed back on the roads. Sadly there are too many that now have no road sense and drive like they own the roads. We all meet them every day unfortunately, like the one who pulled oput of a side road straight in front of me 'cos he was in a hurry'. Now he learned just how solid the migs are.....

Sorry to hear that but glad she is OK.

My son is 15 (16 in Feb) and my daughter is 13, not looking forward to them being on the road due to the higher number of morons I see on a daily basis behind the wheel of a car.

should have seen the salesmans face when we told him we needed a replacement
