Isn't it wonderful when you have to pay for another's mistake?!

I do this.. there really isn't a reason to drive so close to someone in front of you. Drive defensively. Always assume that the guy in front of you can come to a dead stop at any moment for any reason.

At any rate, glad to hear you're safe! It could have been much worse.

Haahaa it just gets frustrating when someone pulls into the space in front of you. You're driving safe, then they close the space on you.
