Got my 230k a few weeks ago. First time it's sunny enough to have the top down over here in limey land and I'm just cruising around for cruising sake.
Soaking up the sun, feeling great and slowly driving around, enjoying my first convertible.
Get to a roundabout, the car in front gets its turn to go and I start to watch the traffic for my go. Theres a car on the inside of me at the junction so I'm watching for them to go, because then I am definitely safe with their car between me and any on-coming traffic.
They start to pull away so I begin to as well.
Look forward to see that the car I thought had gone was still there and stationary.
Hit the brakes hard but still went into the back of him.
We both pull over out the way of traffic and I get out of the car with an look of un-belief on my face.
Go the front of the car fearing what I'm going to see, and thank the lord above I've just got a very slight bit of scuffing (unnoticeable unless you know it's there) and the number plate has been cracked in the middle. His car has a slight bit of scuffing on the rear bumper as well.

Now I'm not violent unless really provoked beyond any reasonable amount, and would never ever start anything, but I do have a look that friends say makes me 'someone you just don't mess with'. I very casually explain that I couldn't grasp why he hadn't gone ages ago when he had at least 2 chances to, to which he had no real answer. I think the answer was he was just a crap driver, but that has no bearing on the real fact that I hit the back of him, so I am at fault whatever happens.

We exchanged details but I haven't heard anything and don't think I will now. But that was about the closet call I ever want to have in my lovely new car.
