a larger automobile with US safety standards.

I rear ended a British-export Ford Escort with my little three cylinder Dihaitsu Charade (US Imported-US Safety standards)...and the Ford Escort crumpled up and put the trunk into it's back seat. My Dihaitsu was able to be driven from the scene.

Oh, and the accident wasn't my fault. The Bobbies cited the other driver for pulling out in front of me.

Glad to hear you and yours are okay.
