And worse still when they didn’t achieve *anything* by going off. Just got the full assessment breakdown – the actual mechanical things that would make it safe and roadworthy come to £200 (my cousin would do the labour for free).

Total cost including all the seatbelts, sensors, bags, etc is well over a grand, and includes work my cousin’s garage can’t do. Plus VAT.

*sigh*

A colleague’s son wrote off the family Citroen when he hit a kerb at 15mph. He did something serious to the axle though – it must be slightly disappointing to realise that the safety features are worth more than the car.

Well, that snow lasted all of 90 mins and the effects of it are now gone in the rain.

And the car is a write-off. The vast majority of the “damage” consisting of safety features that activated and need replaced even though there was no actual *need* for the damn things to go off.

Ouch! I’ve actually never driven on snow and have no wish to start…
