A number of years ago I hit a mini side on when I was doing about 30. Not my 
fault I hasten to add, the driver pulled out straight in front of me from a 
side road. The mini looked like a balloon that someone had pushed their fist 
into. The whole of the side of the car seemed to have been pushed into. No 
serious injury to the driver, concussion and some broken ribs.
