Sorry to read of the accident. Glad she's OK (considering)

Looks like a tough little car to say the least.

Regards,
Matt

Cheers guys,

We have been out today and my wife had a very shakey drive in a brand new Civic 1.6. (She did well and I really think she needed to shake off some demons by getting behind a wheel again ASAP).

I've also found out that our local council runs driver improvement courses (one half day theory + 2 half day practical sessions) no prices yet but it sounds ideal.

Apparently I need to contact The Highways Agency not the local council as its a main highway about the lack of barriers in the location of the crash.

Thanks Once more.

WOW!
 
Thats pretty intense! Having been through a car write off I can understand why your wife is a bit shakey!

Glad she's ok though, and do her a favour and get her another Honda or something else with an NCAP 5 star rating!!

Cheers,

TP

Thanks very much for all your kind words and thoughts.....they are very much appreciated.

The hunt for a car continues.

Carole now loves the new Civic demonstrator we when out in...its much better than ever before. On our old model it uses a fairly crude Electronic Power Streeing that makes the steering effort too light at times (there is no direct link between steering wheel and front wheels from what I was told its all electro/mechanical and sounds a little too much like 'fly-by-wire' to me........I must have a chat with Colin Edwards some time :lol: ).

The brand new ones feel MUCH better - more solid with improved road 'feel' but minus the occasional gremlin that the earlier ones had......I highly recommend a test drive if anyone is in the market for a new car.

Cheers
