One of my mates used to have a car without even a radio, he used to listen to headphones while driving, until one day someone smashed into the back of his car because he dropped the CD player off his knee, hit the brake hard and someone went up the back of him.
The other driver accepted fault for the crash and my mate got a new car (second hand) with the insurance compensation money :D

Yep, he's a taxi driver now and regularly "takes it from behind" on purpose because in the eyes of the law the driver at the rear is normally blamed for the smash because they shouldn't have been driving so close. He does about 2 crashes a year with about a £2000 pay out from each.

I couldn't figure out who you were talking to, and I had the end of a story to type so no harm done :D

Yep, the other driver claiming you reversed into them (only works at low speeds obviously) seems to be the only way around it...
It is pretty fair though- I had to throw on the breaks to avoid hitting a kid on a bike who just flew out in front of me and the guy behind me went nuts. He stopped literally an inch or two from my bumper and was beeping his horn and for a second I thought he was going to get out of his van. I wish he had rear ended me, it would of been worth it to see the look on his face in court when he discovered it was his fault...

I'll have to try that reversing one...
"Your honour, there was me driving responsibly when all of a sudden some maniac driving 50mph in reverse turned the corner and twatted me, thus accounting for the amount of damage his car sustained. A bottle of vodka I had placed on the dashboard for save keeping also smashed on contact spilling the contents down my throat resulting in the negative breath test taken by the police. I wish to also sue for the cost of the vodka"

that road rage story reminds me of an incident about 2 weeks ago.
i was driving towards a roundabout and as i passed through it, some guy just came right through one of the exits.
this caused me to skid, narrowly missing his car by a fucking inch, heading for a barrier.
i managed to control the skid and miss the barrier by an inch also.
absolutely enraged, steaming red...i got out the car and walked over to his car (which had stopped to watch me skid almost to my death) shouting "what the fuck are you on, man!!!!????"
he drove away.....what a pussy. although, to be fair, i was gonna kick his ass for real.
