I crashed into a tractor once! It was on a country road that was just wide enough for two cars. I was going "quite fast" around this bend when I see this massive tractor and trailer taking up the whole road coming towards me. Broke and swerved as much as I could but still clipped it. When I came to a stop I remember thinking "my wing mirror is missing, that's ok, that's to be expected". Got out and most of the right hand side of the car was lying in pieces all over the road between me and the tractor. All the panels were either sheared off or deformed. The farmer refused to get out of the tractor to speak to me! I'd glanced his trailer and although my car had £3000 worth of damage his trailer was intact. Damn agricultural equipment!

One funny thing I do remember is when I stopped my stereo was still playing some pop music and I thought I hope he doesn't hear this music!
