Well, I've been a victim of a line of traffic stopping suddenly and being the only one who's brakes locked up. Didn't total the vehicle, but it did get mashed pretty badly. And I wasn't following that close. Now, being in a bigger truck, I keep even farther back from leading cars. Of course, that still got me a '83 Mercedes crumpled under my rear bumper and hitch just over a year ago. Though his was a total wreck, where I got away with a bent under bumper, a slight crumple of rear fender, and a tiny scratch on the hitch itself. The tailgate was never touched, but his paint chips were all over it. Creme colored flakes littered the tailgate and road along with all his lamp glass and plastic grill pieces. It was lightly raining, and his brakes locked up on him....then BANG! Nice guy, profusely apologized. I was glad he wasn't hurt, because his car surely was. I kinda felt bad for him. It was a clean convertible.
