I see tho that stevieturbo seems to think i was driving like a maniac and just drove off the road. Do you actually know the road that i crashed on or have you seen where this telegraph pole is? This road has old low granite kerbs that are about 2inches high so there not like normal kerbs, i didn't even know i was off the road. Put yourself in the situation, driving along a narrow road at night when a car coming towards you blinds you with their lights, would you
a)keep going and may run the risk of clipping the car or
b)move over to give them some room and take your chances with the low kerbs?
Only an idiot decided to put a telegraph pole as close to the edge of the road as possible, not what you expect to be there.
big cyril said:Ok Stevie , perhaps lamp posts should all be put right at the kerb , fitted with metal spikes and electrified , then that would teach any naughty drivers who made a mistake and wandered over the kerb wouldn't it!

If you was blinded by the lights of another car then the crash was not your fault you should contact one of those Accident help lines gain some advice from them.......
