Took these pics in Bromley earlier today. The drive had hit a signpost headon, flattening it in the process before coming to a halt right up against a lamppost. I just hope no one was hurt.
It doesn't look as if the airbags have deployed. Hopefully nobody was on the pavement as everybody would have been OK in the car.
The aluminium crash bar on the front didn't do a lot.
Dolomites always had more power than grip, didn't they?I know about hitting lamp posts, Knocked one to the ground about 28 years ago when I hit it broadside in a Dolomite. The car bent around the lamp post on the passenenger side, and ended up sitting on top of it fortunately nobody was in the passenger seat as it wouldn't have been good.
Then 5 years later managed to hit another one myself about 400 yards up the road when I had a motorbike accident, spent 6 weeks in hospital with a pelvis fractured in 3 places and a dislocated hip.
I really don't like lamp posts.

My next purchase will likely be a good dashcam
