For those who offered advice, I can tell you that my situational awareness is wound up to max now (almost paranoid even!). I've also been given a VW Up! by the rental company and this feels a bit more first-world than the Etios.
The great irony for me is that one of the reasons I so look forward to coming out to South Africa is because driving there is infinitely more enjoyable and less stressful than doing daily battle on the M25!
Glad you are OK and walked away from wreck.
