Sorry, but got to disagree here.
If Greekman was to have an insurance repair on the damage to his car it would be very close to a total loss.
The new parts alone would be well over £6000. As well as the obvious, if that was my car I would be wanting 2 new wheels and tyres and the deployed air bag is not cheap to replace.
Also it is not always black and white on the track and serious damage can occur to your car through no fault of your own or other drivers. Fluids for instance getting dropped can cause all sorts of problems usually resulting in very expensive repairs when you hit the tyrewall. Just my 2 cents.
