The pics say a lot for vehicle inegrity & passenger safety in event of rearward collision (with a smaller vehicle). .......Even if the badges alone probably took up more of the lane width than the entire corsa ;)

Glad you and yours okay after this.

Due to vehicle size & blind spots etc, I try to hold back from trucks etc on nearside & then get by quickly when able but I am very aware it can be down to reactions & the middle pedal when someone pulls out ahead in such circumstances.

Pleased that you are ok but appreciate what a massive pain in the arse it is(excuse the pun) just being involved in an accident because its just a massive hassle, at least its improved the Corsa`s  looks a little though.

If you look very closely at the picture of the corsa...

You can definitely see an imprint of your boot badges!!!

Glad nobody was hurt in the collision.
Those badges must be emitting a force-field repelling other cars!

just from the lorry point of view (used to drive full time) one problem is you can have a truck thats 10mph faster than the other, put an indicator on and cars just dont let you out, some actually put there foot down to stop you getting out and by some i mean at least half, also if it cut straight in from could well of been a lhd foreign truck who never saw you been as though nearly half of all trucks on road seem to be foreign now.
