Ouch. Driver's side too. I didn't realise that.

Maybe this doesn't seem so bad now you've had time to think about it. I think you were both extremely lucky not to be seriously injured. It's easy for me to say but be thankful for that & look on the bright side. Put it down to experience. I hope this hasn't shaken your confidence.

I've been driving with my dad the whole day and we also got a rented car for me (Ford Focus). Sadly, I'll have to go to Hannover earlier than I wanted - right on my girlfriend's birthday. My dad won't let me drive those 400 Kms alone.

Thats because of the rules... probably rented on his own name so he can pay less

Heh, a fifteen year old car? Without any forms of security installations, like airbags and ABS?

Door and chassis. Repairing that would cost €2000+, the car's remaining value 'though, is just ~€900. So we're just giving it to a car recycling company.
