I was 'rear ended' on Friday night (28th January 2011). Hit up the back on the M25 by 'white van man'. He was traveling way to fast, and we and all the traffic ahead of him had slowed prior to road works.
The Golf may be a write off and I and my passenger have whiplash, and all because one driver failed to concentrate on what was happening in front of him. Even the overhead gantry signs warned us of slow traffic ahead!
If you have an R.T.A. on a motorway in England now, you get a civilian Traffic Officer and not a police officer attending, which is great as it means no one gets breathalised or tested for drugs! Yes I am being sarcastic, as I would have liked the man who drove into me tested as a matter of course. It appears that the police in England do less and less work each day. This is not funny as we pay for them to attend and make all the necessary checks. That aside the 'Traffic Officer' was polite even though he was powerless. The country is now being policed by 'Diet Cops' or civilian Community Support Officers with no real powers and our motorway's by more civilian 'Officers'. The country has gone down the pan for sure.
My insurance company however have thus far been very good. I ache in places I have never ached before, but my friend and I are alive, it could have been so much worse.
