Yet another car accident !!!

Just 7 months and 3 days have passed since the last person smashed into my car(s) .... and this run of good luck was broken this evening, when a man in a Toyota Camry was driving too fast and too close to the car in front of him. When that car suddenly braked, he swerved left into the next lane to avoid hitting the rear of the car in front of him.

 Unfortunately, I was alongside him at that moment, so the front left wing of his car ....


.... smashed into the passenger side front and rear doors of my Subaru Legacy.


Luckily no-one was injured, and his insurance will pay for the repairs to my car, but once again I have the hassle of getting a quote for the repairs, and will lose the car for about a week whilst it is being repaired.


Sorry to anyone who was held up in the traffic jam behind us, but that is part of the joys of driving in the UAE. If motorists could learn to drive properly and with due care, there would be a lot fewer "accidents".
