My First Bingle

[_dunx_]

Sounds like a kid's storybook title...

Silly Dunx, slightly distracted while slowing for a red light, didn't hit the brake hard enough, hit a tow ball, light crunchy cosmetic denty badness, no damage to the HUGE 4WD, nice driver, gave me his card and advice on Googling for repair dudes, and on my way I went.

Would you believe: a ten-cent piece?

All part of the driving experience.

Ah well.. it happens to everyone sometime.

Better it was minor!

My very first accident, as a P-plater, was a 4WD running into the back of me at 60km/h at a red light. He pushed me through an intersection and about a block down the road. Car was a total write off. :/

You know, to me, the dent looks like someone smooshed their face into the bumper bar. It's like a nose and mouth... am I the only one that can see that?

I had a similar accident some months ago. Front bumper damage. you should be able to look up a wrecker or parts supplier and replace it yourself for much cheaper than you'd pay a panel beater to do. A replacement front bumper for my Commodore VP 92 cost about $160. Check the option out and compare prices. ;)

Please do not give him any ideas that may equate to a junkyard and a tube of araldite!
