A good Strands to ease us into the first weekend of 2025, naming the different parts of a car that are excessively expensive to repair in case you are unlucky enough to hit a pothole.
I am lucky that most of my car accidents have involved inanimate objects that I hit at about 3 miles per hour while reversing. Although I also scraped the side of a police vehicle during a driving lesson. I'm much safer these days, unless you're a bollard, post or garden wall.
