Ouch! Hope nobody got hurt.
I'm trying to understand how you ended up in that position... Care to shed some light on this?

yes, everybody is ok, thanks. quite funny feeling when you are hanging on a seatbelts :) like in movies.
I was overtaking one car and also that Daewoo little S**t, and its female driver suddenly turned left and she blocked my way. I was trying to avoid hitting her and i turned to the roadside but instead stopping she kept turning left to that black gravel road and BAM. I hit drivers side of Deawoo and pushed it to the pit hole i hope my insurance company doesnt claim its 'total damage' and my Toyota will be fixed. You cant see it in the photo but both cars are heavy damaged on contact side ps. this is the better angle to understand this situation. |

Sounds like it your fault, she was making a legal left turn, you were on the wrong side of the road overtaking.

no she is not. you cant turn left when somebody is overtaking you. i was on the wrong side ? left side of the road is wrong for overtaking according to you ? maybe in UK :P and yes, i can overtake in that place, gravel road (no name in the middle of the field road) is not trated as a juncton. No junction signs. No continuous lines on the tarmac. Full right to overtake.

Yes, you were overtaking, but you were on the side of the road where traffic is going the other direction, right? You were overtaking the car behind her. She was in the process of making a left, gravel road, is still a road. You would have to yield to her, as you were behind.

That depends...if she was being an asshat and DID NOT have a blinker on then she is clearly out of her rights and should be punished to the fullest extent when it comes to blame. Too many folks get away with no blinkers being used. I wanted to already slap a dozen motorists here in LA last evening when driving from LAX to my hotel downtown because they didn't use their blinkers. Say what you want about me, but if someone makes a turn or merges with no blinker then I say they deserve anything that happens to them to include becoming a paraplegic or worse. When you do that you are taking your own life and other's in your hands especially when not using them. It is the law and a safety requirement than too many folks ignore, so eff em! If folks think that it is alright to drive without signal indicators being used then they cannot bitch about folks running red lights or speeding in my book. However if she did have a blinker then the OP should be considered at fault or course and the OP should have noticed/backed off until another section of passable roadway came about.

I can't speak for Poland's road rules, but I know in many countries, if you are overtaking, you're automatically held at fault if something goes wrong. I do hope for your sake, though, that Poland is different. I guess on the bright side, its one less Matiz on the road ... I test drove one for a laugh once, but it wasn't at all funny! |

Glad you are OK, but I would say your car is totaled. We've seen Yaris with less damage get "written off" as we say in this country.
Speaking of which, where are you? And just to be clear, you were passing/overtaking her when she turned left? Cheers! M2

Were you on the right lane? then you overtook her on the left lane, she swerved left and so you tried to avoid her by going off the road? but she kept going left hmm sounds like she didn't even see you on her left side or maybe she just shut her eyes and hoped for the best. Glad you're OK and RIP to your little Yari.

*junorico24 - yes it was exactly like you say, i think she didnt even see me, because of the car between me and her. I wanted to overtake both of them, when i overtook the first one she crossed my way, arghh.
Tomorrow i will be visiting my toyota dealer (where the cars is now) and try to make a photo. But im afraid you are right *MadMax that my yaris will be written off (thanks for the word). As for the first impressions: both head lamps are damaged, bumper, hood, windshield, roof, right mirror, doors, right bottom side of the car, both right Konig Feather wheels :( *vten, i have always been thinking like you, but now it doesnt looks so bright. Here in Poland (i hate my country) when your insurance company says you totaled your car they give you 5600$ (calculated amount for my car). And this is so lowered value, because here on ebay same cars cost about 7200$. And then i will be hard to spend those $$ on similar car, i will have to sort of downgrade my car from current level :/ Or i have to save money for half year and buy something better like you said. |

So this wasn't the result of two European economy cars trying to mate?

I thought that the other car was a Renault Twingo (my second favorite sub compact car).
