A young lady behind me decided that talking on her cellphone was more important than looking at the road, and rear ended us doing about 80km an hour vs our +- 20km coming into light traffic at the Koeburg offramp on the N2.
Neither of us were hurt badly - my back is in slight pain, but not...
I ask this question having written off 2 vehicles since 2005 ( all in JHB), VW 1.9tdi Sportline :( and more recently 2010 Hyundai i20 1.4 :mad:..I am a 27year old male and residing in JHB.
