Driving home tonight, I was merging on the freeway. The car in front of me accelerated- I wasn't that close; I glanced back to check traffic and when I looked again, the car had come to a complete stop. I slammed on my brakes, but I just didn't stop in time. I flew forward and heard a loud bang. I was convinced the front of my car was gone. I pulled my car over, got out, to a shaking young man in the car in front of me. His car was fine, my car was fine. He wasn't injured and neither was I. Two nice state patrolmen descended upon the scene. Since the damage did not exceed $1500, no citation was issued and we all left.
I am embarrassed and shaken up. I have never hit anyone before and it is not a fun feeling. I think I will leave the Bumper Cars for the theme parks next time.
