Default It's not like it is difficult to see?

My sisters work car after another woman hit it in the car park. Must have been doing a fair rate of knots. My sister was not in the car at the time. (Luckily)

With that colour must have been hard not to see it.
Good to see your sister was not in the car at the time and was not hurt.

Wow... how does someone miss that colour?? Always makes me wonder sometimes... if a car is bright or easy to see that is the one that seems to either have the near miss or not so near miss...

Thank goodness your sister was not in the car at the time... That is a lot of damage for a car park accident...

Looks like the side intrusion bars held up at least should she have been in there.

Yep, must have been doing at least 5kmh. Any faster into a shoebox like that and it would have taken the guard off as well.

Who said 'side intrusion bars'? On a car that size... C'mon!
