I was taking a couple of friends in Oxfordshire to lunch when local white van man ran into the back of my car at a junction. Drivable home with caution but almost certainly a write off and friends still in Banbury A&E being checked out.
Both my passengers have both been told by A&E that they have suffered from some degree of whiplash injury. it's too soon to know how severe. So far I seem to be alright with just a little stiffness. "quiet" country roads can be amongst the most dangerous.
Correct, country roads by far the most dangerous. Careful about that "little stiffness". That indicates that you, too, are suffering from whiplash as is to be expected when a larger vehicle hits you.
