i was completely stopped... for atleast 2-3 sec...
they called me and kinda claimed fault... so its a little better now

Oh. 😀

Is there something about your driving? Do you tend to brake pretty rapidly?

nope... i actually think i am the safest driver i know....

what is it.... 90% of people think that they're safer than the average driver?

If you were a safe driver, you wouldn't be getting into accidents. Although it's not your fault.

*confused* Also safe drivers can get into accidents. ESPECIALLY if it's not his fault. Are you an unsafe driver if you stand on a red light and some drunk dude hits your bumper?

If he's getting into accidents how does that make him a safe driver.
It's not his fault, but it sure looks like he's an accident magnet.
Accident on wheels 😛

my car is serious cursed... just 2 days ago, someone changes 3 lanes at once... almost hit the front of my car, lucky i reacted fast and slammed on the breaks... i seriously am like the most catious and careful driver i know
 
drunk people cannot think straight

i didnt say im the safest driver, just the safest i know.

and i know this by watching people i know drive.. they never use blinkers, change lanes in intersections... just very careless

i do everything, i am just CURSED 🙁

maybe i need to get a new car... heh

Heres a some new advice.
Forget about "DEFENSIVE DRIVING" It's all about Offensive Driving 😀
 
i wanna get a camera on the back of my car, and a bacarat vase worth like $10000 hanging from the bumper.. that way so the next lady hits me, they are even more screwed... but hey, i shouldnt have another accident until next year according to my record ;P

oh, another weird thing, ive been hit by all women... and each of them were a diff race... kinda weird ;P black, white, chinese, mexican

Another solid evidence that women should not be driving.
Great work :thumbsup:

that's very smart of you to catch that 🙂
hope everything turns out fine.
 
Maybe drive a little slower... less tailgating means less slamming on the brakes. If all else fails, get a Hummah!

I will admit whether your fault or not that is excessive. Are you taking your foot off the brake or do you keep easing forward at a red light? Being that you have been stopped 2-3 secs I wouldn't say you are stopping short, but I have seen alot of this with trucks trying to race a sports car to the red light light only to not have enough room to squeeze in front of him and nail the car in their lane.

I leave about a car length in front of me and I have had to use it more than once. Rarely, some asshat will go around you and squeeze into it, but that's the way it goes.

I think she was the one who was tailgating
 
y didn;t u call the police to file a claim, you should always do that just in case she does not have insurance, or gives you fake info

I think i leave enough space... in my 4 accidents, i have never hit the car infront of me... i was completely stopped..

i didnt call the police mainly because i got her info, and i was gonna call once i got to my job, since i was literally walking distance from the building... next year when the next lady hits my car, ill call the cops at the scene... :\

I'd be looking at a true metal bumper if it were me. Get it primed and painted to match the color. Or SOMETHING to stiffen up that ass of yours. Thats the exact reason I stuck a fat ball hitch on my Expedition. I tow something about once a year, but having a grill spear on the back keeps people at a safe distance 😉 Maybe you need a ball on the back of your car

Good idea!

Maybe I should do that on my SUV. At least make them pay for hitting my car. This would be exceptionally handy for those jerks that like to do the bump and grind method when they parallel park.

do you think that is a good thing to get? cause when they hit the back of the car, they hit the bumper, which is made to take the impact and protect the car and myself... if you had a tow hitch, wouldnt that be connected to the frame, and put all the impact in one spot, making the damage worse in that area, which is actually the frame, rather than the bumper....
 
If they said sorry they hit you, that can be deemed an admission of guilt under the Federal Rules of Evidence and can be admitted in court 🙂
 
The girl was obviously trying to get out of it by giving you a fake number, I hope you involve the police.
