Driving round the M25 on thursday evening about 8PM, I was overtaking a slow fiesta MK5, as I was doing this a SAAB 95 that was in front of the MK5 decides to pull out into my lane. He must of been doing 70 and I was doing about 85. I swerved to avoid hitting him, I was that close that braking alone (even with the ST's excellent brakes) would not have stopped me in time. I missed hitting him but as I tried to regain my positioning in the lane the car span out and I flew across all the lanes, hitting the barrier on the hard shoulder on my rear driver side bumper, followed by the rest of the driver's side.

All I want to say, is if that had happened in a different car, I doubt I would have got out unharmed let alone be here today.

I had three witness lorry drivers, none of which got the SAAB's plate and once they saw I was ok, just drove off. So lets see my premium sore, great!!!!

I am still waiting for the verdict on whether the car is a write off, hopefully not.
