Now I'm in a rush to get my car after tonight

[Mk7-GTD]

Women in a Land Rover Discovery at about 30mph.

Not a mark on her Discovery. My wife and I were in the car, I'm fairly okay with just a few pains but my wife hurt he neck and lower back but will be fine in a bit.

To top it all off the police were still trying to sort out her insurance cover, ie. she didn't have any but was saying she has.

That is gutting, really sorry for your bad luck. Hope you both have no long term pains that's the main thing.

From personal experience I would get checked out. (not from a claim point of view) but I had someone fit me a low speed and i did nothing about it, 6 months later my right wrist (the one holding the steering wheel at impact) was still hurting in certain positions.  I thought it would be no worse than falling off my mountain bike, but surprising how long these injuries, no matter how slight, can last.

Sorry to hear about this, have you checked the Reg on the ask MID site??

Very sorry to read this.  Hope you both get over it quickly, including the aches and pains. As Jackie Treehorn says, maybe you should both get a check over.  These things can manifest themselves later down the line if there's undetected injury.

Hope you can put it behind you soon enough.  New car will help.

And quite often the pain can come on strong a day later. When I got rear ended static, parked outside my wife's place of work to pick her up at about 4pm, I didn't feel bad at all, I had an ok night's sleep, got a lift to the local Enterprise to pick up the legal cover arranged hire car, drove it home and about an hour later (around 2pm) my neck and shoulder were agonising. The hire car stood where i'd parked it for 3 days (my wife didn't drive back then) and I asked Enterprise to come and collect it as it wouldn't get any use.

Wow sorry to hear about your accident. Hopefully you and the good lady will be on the mend before you know it.

Nothing worse being in an accident, especially so when it is no fault of your own.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for all the replies.

We were checked over by the ambulance guy and girl. They did say to think about how we feel in the morning and if anything feels too bad then call into Solihull hospital. However as it turns out I actually had a cut on my right leg just on the bottom of the inside scar but because I don't have any feeling in my right leg I didn't know until my wife asked where the stains on the carpet were coming from when I went to get a beer. It must have been from the brake pedal as my foot was just on the floor of the car and not on the pedal.

Either way not something that a bit of packing won't sort out until the doctor opens in the morning.

If there is anyone that can shed some light on whether or not the car is fixable? It is a 13 reg car.
