What is it with me and motorways? (now this pics)

Well i was returning home, got on the m1 south bound and just as i was crossing the slip road onto the motorway a car on the northbound side has a blow out and spins across the motorway showering metal and gravel everywhere on to my side of the road.

I missed the flying metal, and got showered with stones and all sorts, i dodged most of it, however one bit went straight through my Aircon condenser, and another bit has smashed my headlamp protector (did its job). needless to say the bonnet of the car is covered in dents.

I felt like such a arse having to drive back up the motorway to get the poor guys details.

I happy to say all the people in other the car were ok, including 3 small children. The Guy didnt have any insurance details on him, but the police left the scene so i can assume all is ok. I've got his details, but his car was a right mess. All i can say is thank god for my smart nav and just been able to hit the sos button, and get straight through to the police.

Im not sure what to do about the bonnet to be honest, i doesnt look too bad but it is dirty at the mo, i just cant stand to think of unmatching paint and orange peel.
