POLL: You see somebody in your mirror that's going to rear-end you...

[Bassyhead]

I would pin myself in my seat to lessen whiplash if possible. I always apply my brakes at a stop, don't want to get pushed into the guy in front of me or into an intersection where worse could happen.

that's a pretty funny that you honked. 😀

I honked while some b|tched backed her car up into my stopped car. It didn't do any fvcking good either. All she had to do was glance in the rear view mirror to see me, and the fat b|tch couldn't even be bothered to do that. Silly me! In driver's ed they made it pretty clear you should be looking where you were going. Apparently an alternative to this method is to stare dead forward and pray for the red seas to part for you while backing up.

I watched a similar thing happen to some guy at a stop light in front of me.

I had a dump truck that wasn't stopping come at me at high speed while I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection of a 4 lane highway.

I threw it in neutral and braced myself low in the seat for impact.

My car went flying across the intersection and luckily didn't hit any cars.

My car only had it's back bumper pushed in a little bit.

Of course this was a 1970 Caddy (aka tank) with a real metal bumper.

Dump truck driver was super apololgetic. No harm done and we just went about our business.

2 yrs later I had a head on collision with a 69 Impala that it didn't fair as well.

Man, everyone is out to get you.

I was 17 and a senior in High School.

That car was awesome.

I came close to getting rear ended.. I was in the right lane on a highway and the car behind me didn't realize we were stopped.. he locked his brakes up. (to the point he was skidding out of control) I saw him in my rear view, I floored it and took off up the shoulder.. he slid straight into the car that was in front of me.. I'm glad I paid attention to my mirrors then 🙂

fling it into reverse and smash the F out of them too.

 

[Whitecloak]

hope that he double-wrapped it.

I'll bet you mean brakes.
