This happened about 2 weeks ago, I was indicating to turn into a petrol station on my right and waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear when a woman in a Ka decided to get a bit too close to me.
She saw me indicating and saw my brake lights on, but throught I was slowing down for a junction 300yds down the road. By the time she realised I was stationary to turn into the petrol station it was too late, she locked her brakes and went straight into the back of me. She was a bit injured from whiplash and from the safety belt tugging on her so got taken to hospital, but got released the next day so at least its not too serious.
Hadn't posted about it until now as I wanted the insurers to sort everything out first. At least she never made anything difficult and admitted liability straight away.
Got a phone call from Nationwide Crash Repair centre today (insurance company aranged for my car to go there), saying they're going ahead with the repairs, and the car is getting a new bootlit, bumper, light cluster, floorpan and some boot trim. I was worried they would write it off as C43's are so cheap these days, so I'm glad they decied to fix it! Total repair is £2,302.
