OK, here's the plus side:
1. No one was hurt.
2. My car only has a pitta bread-sized dent.
3. A policeman who had just come on duty witnessed the entire thing and said it was definitely the other driver's fault.
4. The other driver, who turned out to live in the next street to me, was really kind and broke the rules to ring me up and ask how I was.
5. I still got to my 'special needs mums' lunch'.
6. The other driver's insurance have offered to cover the lot.
7. Did I mention no one was hurt?
From all of which you can gather that I had a minor car smash today. It didn't feel minor while I was having it though, as the car leapt up in the air and then came down before I did, resulting in rattling of spine as well as emotional shakenness. And, being that sort of person, I still think it was really my fault because I didn't make my intentions clear and my momentary braking gave the other driver the impression I was letting her in.
But thank God everyone is all right and neither car is badly damaged.
