^ What he said.

While they may be the idiot, I'd like to help them as much as possible with avoiding being hit.

A buddy of mine has been in several accidents, and while none of them were his fault they all could have been avoided had he driven smarter.

This is what I do as well in the Z.

I got rear ended a month ago in my parent's RX400h by some guy in a BMW 550i. I was sitting at a light and I saw him stop behind me so I look forward waiting for the light to change. Next thing I know, bam he hits me. All that needed to be replaced on my car was the bumper cover, his hood, front bumper, grills, and headlights were all fubar'ed because of the height difference between cars.

Weird thing was that when we pulled over, he got out and his pants were unzipped and his belt unbuckled. He was the only one in the car, and made no effort to zip up until my GF got out of the car and walked over. :icon14:

I spent 5 nights in Rikers Island when I was young. They tried to rear end me the first two nights but I had enough squabbles to prevent it.

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

No doubt, I'd get REAL loose.

Watch out. We've got spelling police out on an internet forum.

:bowrofl:

I was reading up on your rear ended well I had a 2010 Black 370z Roadster yes it was written off ,stopped on the side of the road to get some information off my mobile phone and bang right up the back of me I spent 8 hours in hospital till they checked me out ,now I have 2011 black 370z roadster ,I'm from Zclub.com.au in Australia here is shot from our gallery http://zclub.com.au/forums/index.php...e/2790-ja5jpg/http://zclub.com.au/forums/index.php...e/2790-ja5jpg/

I was at a stop sign and there was a bit of rain..I suddenly heard the car behind me get hit...I was safe but got out to see if everyone was ok.

..the guy in the car behind me had been rear ended.. He put his hands to his head as he looked at his damaged car and said "Oh No!" Then I looked and noticed he still had the dealer papers in the window of his brand new Lexus!! :(

I got popped from the rear in my Infiniti once. I heard the tires lock up and had enough time to put my foot back on the brake (car was a stick) and avoided hitting the guy infront of me.

I got rear ended approx 20 mins after driving off of the dealers lot. I was stopped on the highway for heavy traffic and a massive accident happened 3 cars behind me.

The third car got smashed forward and as I tried to accerate a little to try and not drive into the car ahead of me. I got love tapped in the rear as I rolled forward. I was freakin furious and thought the whole rear end was bashed in.

Turns out I only have a few light scuffs and the impact strip wasnt even bumped. Basically since I was slightly rolling forward at the time of impact, there was minimal damage.

2 of the 3 cars behind me were all write offs.

Twice in my jeep. The stall speed on the torque converter allows me to let go of the brake and the car won't move. Both times fricken idiot female drivers who weren't paying attention hit the gas and BAM! I leave my hitch on for this sole reason. No damage to my car. Neither girl even got out of their car. Just a ditsy "sooooory". Whatever, their front ends were usually in pieces laying on the street. I handed one lady her license plate as she was asking me "are you sure you don't want to call the police"? For some reason she didn't understand that calling the police would result in her getting a ticket, points and higher insurance.:rofl2:

Yep...drivers only stop when they see red taillights. It's good to tap your brakes if you're at the end of the stack. Hopefully you'll wake up the approaching driver.

It's good that people don't need to signal to brake. We'd have more accidents.

A lady backed into my Civic years ago in a parking lot.

ive heard of others getting hit like that. some AT drivers are like babies... they only have on or off, no intermediate control.

for me, i was waiting for the light at a walmart parking lot like 20yrs ago and some dumb chick rear ended me cause she was looking for something in her purse. :shakes head:

ever since i drive looking forward and back even while stopped. :ugh2:

got rear ended by a 80 year old woman and i only had my z for about 3 months, her insurance gave me a check, used the check on a amuse rear bumper :)
