Accident in UK

I was driving my 97 9K CSE last Tuesday, in the city (Bristol UK). I had pulled away from some traffic lights, and travelled some 100 yds until traffic forced me to stop. I had just applied my handbrake, when I glanced in my mirror, i saw a Vauxhall Astra ( a small compact, about the size of a Ford Lynx) accelerating towards me. The woman driving did not even brake, as she was talking to her passenger. She ploughed straight into the back of my Saab, completely writing off the front of her car. She pushed me into the car in front, not heavily enough to do him any damage. Her bonnet (Hood) was pushed right back, the radiator was pushed into the engine, both wings were pushed back, Bumper nearly torn off.
The damage to the Saab, scratches, and plastic cover on the rear bumper trim was split.
She could not believe it, her car destroyed, and the Saab looking lovely as always.
We exchanged details, and I drove off leaving her to wait for the tow truck.
Needless to say i was uninjured.
Saab's rule.
