Bad news... Got into an accident today and my car is total loss
It happened at only a block away from my home, a guy came driving up from the left at an insanely high speed and I couldn't brake in time. The impact was very nasty, the other car ended up against a tree on its side. Luckily nobody got injured, I got saved by my seat belt and air bag. Had a full check up at the hospital and the doctor said I'm fine, just a bit sore.
The other driver didn't have a driver's license, and stole the keys of his brother's car. He drove only a couple of streets at high speed until I got in the way...
Worst of all is that my car is 9 years old, which means I probably will not get enough from the insurance to buy a new car

No license and no (own car) so the guy probably isn't insured very well.
I hope this has a happy end.
Was it a crossing with "right side priority" (voorrang van rechts)?
Anyway, this isn't a court case. Driving without license = 100% guilty
Dumb fuck
Get well soon!

Yeah I had priority luckily, but if he had come from the other side at that speed I would have hit him as well, and then it would've been my fault
I'm going to phone up the insurance, garage and police etc, hope I can sort it all out asap.

Glad to hear you're ok mate, the other guy might do some jail time for not having license, no?
Hope you will get a new car.

The UK is just another state of the USA as it seems. We have no claim culture (yet) in Belgium.

Found a picture of the accident on a regional news site

My car is the grey one, the picture was taken after they put the orange car back on its wheels, it was parked on its side against the tree.

Good job you had a Focus. Even the older mark 1 model like yours had a good safety rating. The mark 2 and 2.5 are even better - they get a full 5 star NCAP safety rating. I've got a 2008 reg Focus. Totally love it - cheap to run, looks great, really fun to drive and very safe.
