Yea right I've been driving since the mid 70's and was never in an accident, tell someone else. I don't use a cell when driving either. Hopefully I'm never in front of you at a light when you're in neutral off the brake. You'd be the hazard, to me.
So there I was, driving in heavy traffic in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in my rental car with a couple of co-workers. We were going about 50 mph, when all of a sudden there was a traffic backup, and I had to execute a max-effort emergency stop, coming to rest about 1-2 feet behind the car in front. Then I looked in the rear-view mirrora female driving a Jeep Cherokee, yacking on her csaw the tie-up about
slammed on her brakes, locking up her wheels and sliding into
True story. If you'rest a matter of luck whether or not you're going to hit the car ahead. And besides in my original note, I sATTENTION to cars coming up behind you and keep your brakes applied. As yosee, I have had some experience in this area.
Again, as I said earlier in this thread.. she (Cherokee) rear-ended you, so she is automatically at fault.
