OUCH. I suppose it was bound to happen
after 55 years driving, someone pulled out in front of me from a side road and bang. I wouldn't mind but I was watching him looking for eye contact, he was looking my way but still came out. At least only metal and plastic got bent although Mrs M74 took a knock from the seat belt. Strangely enough the air bags didn't deploy, but just look at the crash bar.

Sorry to hear that - but glad all are well. I suppose your insurance company will write the car off

His insurance has admitted responsibility. I'm getting the car recovered home, on his insurance, but I guess they'll want to write it off, at least I'll have the car.

Tarbolton Road after Bog End Toll, by the pet food warehouse J&M Sommerville. Fortunately you can't go too fast around there.
