Well, well, I managed to crash the car this morning....
Was going to drive the 4 year old to his day care. The driveway is covered in 10 cm of steel ice. And last night we had a topping of about 1 cm of wet snow.
I drive forward 5 meters to turn the car. But as I stop, the car starts to slide....sideways down the hill. And hit the neigbours tractor in the snow removing macinery at it's back.
Resulting damage on the tractor: non visible.
Damage on wifes VW Touran 2006 2.0 TDI Highliner DSG.
Dented right fender
Broken glass on right head light (must be replaced)
Pierced and ripped lose front bumper
Bent hood
Cracked windscreen cleaning fluid bottle
Numerous internal bodywork plastic parts cracked.
Scratches in the paint on the right side door, so new paint job on that
Awaiting result of damage survey at the garage....I am fully insured, but there will be a 400£ deductible that I will have to pay myself, and my bonus gets dropped from 75% to 40%...
The total damage is probably 4-5000£....waiting for the estimate from the garage.
But with the kid in the car I am just glad he is okay. He is at daycare now, and I told them what have happened in case he gets a reaction. The speed was walking speed when we hit, and he was in his child seat, and he was not even upset...
