This is exactly what happened to me when a semi-truck forgot I was in front of him at a stop light and he just hammered it and ran right into the back of me..He didn't even know he hit me (how he didn't know, I will never understand!)..I was in my little Nissan 240sx and what did I do? Slammed on my brakes. As if I was going to
stop the semi-truck who didn't even know I was down there in front of him. He was shifting gears, had no idea I was there and I was hitting the brakes?!? I should have hit the throttle. I was young and it scared the $#@$ out of me. Totaled my car. I'm lucky to be alive, he pushed me for a couple hundred feet before he realized he was hooked on to the back of my hatchback! (he only noticed because my car, being stuck (his big bumper sort of rolled up on my car I guess?) started to turn sideways and he slammed me into a guardrail. What I remember most about that accident is when he sheared off my radio antenae all I could hear was the static!
