Ouch!! About a week after getting mine some old lady cut me off so bad that I thought she was going to take off my front end. Fortunately, I was alert and able to avoid it. I was livid but since I respect the elderly I didn't curse or flick her off. I looked over at her with a WTF smirk on my face and she looked clueless as to what she had just done.

That hurts just to see it. I can only imagine how the owner of that beautiful new car feels.

Yup I agree, and right around :27 you can barely hear the Challenger owners discontent with the incident. I'd be pi$$ed beyond belief too. I mean, come on. It wasn't as if the Challenger made a sudden stop and the pickup truck driver had a split second to react to it.....he was stopped for several seconds for petes sake. The guy in the pick up needs to get his head out of his a$$.
EDIT: When I go back and look at this video again, I realize that the person capturing the video has the camera attached to some kind of mount on the outside of his vehicle and faced to the side. Seems almost too coincidental.:icon_confused: I wonder if the person filming, knew the Challenger owner and was filming him in his new car and just happened to capture the collision.....or is it one of those fakes:scratchhead:

Wow, a full 20sec of video followed the impact... and the driver of the ford was still not flat out on the ground.
Truly amazing.
Accidents happen... but unless your brakes failed, to me the rear end collision is unforgivable. :bash:
wtf could you possibly be doing, other than paying attention to whats right in front of you. :dunno:
If he was texting what a cool car he was following, the IE owner should have shoved the cell down his throat. :icon_flaming:

That is enough to tick the Pope off! Looks like a cruise gone bad. Camera guy was probably part of the local club filming the ride. New car all messed up. I'd be livid.

I'd bet good money he/she was on a very important phone call. Idiot. Makes me sick.

Not much you can do in a situation like this, sitting at a red light. I've been hit in the rear like this while stopped three times in my life. One time I saw her coming and I tried to get going, but I couldn't get traction on the wet road then BAM!
If there's no place to go, brace your head against the head rest!

I've only been rear-ended once - in my previous SUV on the expressway while having to brake for a sudden traffic jam that materialized across all three lanes ahead. I had about 2 or 3 seconds before he hit me - but I had cars ahead of me, and on the left - and a guard rail to the right. Nowhere to go. I kept my foot hard on the brake because I didn't want to get pushed into the cars ahead of me.
Luckily, although it crumpled the front end of his Ford Focus, all I had was a couple scuffs on the plastic bumper cover of my SUV. Hardly visible. And although it was a heckuva jolt, nobody got hurt.
And, conveniently about 400 ft further down the expressway was a nice State Trooper on hand already for a truck breakdown (the cause of the backup). He wrote up a nice ticket to the rear-ender for following too closely and I was on my way in about 15 minutes. The traffic jam had completely cleared by then.

I got rear-ended just like that in my 300C about 6 months after buying it new back in 2005.
But I was going around 65 - 70 MPH at the time!! I kid you not.
The stupid woman just drove right into my a** on the freeway at nearly 75 MPH. I was holding a completely full cup of coffee at the time, which went EVERYWHERE inside my car, completely covering the dash, my clothes, etc.
Needless to say - I was NOT a happy camper and she knew it when I got out of the vehicle. Cop gave her a ticket for inattentive driving and her insurance completely picked up the cost of repair.

Only once for me, but similar. Sitting at a light, then wham, guy just ran into the back of me! Car was never the same. Trunk never quite closed right after wards, front windshield cracked months later, and my exhaust y-pipe also developed a crack months later. No way to recover those costs, so I had to eat them.
In a new car this, I'd be pissed. Ironically, my wife in the last 6 years has hit 2 PARKED cars!! She tried to explain, but after I asked if the other cars were moving, and she said no, that was about all I needed to hear! :notallthere:
Simular accident happened to me. Nissan pathfinder was comming in the oncomming lane and lost control on a icey road in town limits, and ended up in my lane at about 30mph, I hit the nissan and it bounced off my pickup into the ditch. Fortunatly a cop car was right behind me. The cop car managed to stop with no room to get between the front of the car and the back of my pickup. Should have seen the look on the little asian/chineses face.(priceless) He got cut up a little bit, I had mild whiplash but we both walked away.

DWB was sitting just fine short of the intersection. Completely stopped for quite some time. I would bet a dollar to a donut that the pickup driver was texting. You can see clearly the "green" light in the cross traffic so they had a red light frome when DWB was coming to a stop. Texting. Guaranteed. This brings back memories of the jerk that hit mine while it was parked in a parking lot. The drunken fool pulled out backwards swinging the car's front end and took out the driver's door, the rear quarter, etc. It took me a lot of detective work but I finally NAILED that SOB. But get this.......his insurance took care of it after he admitted doing it. You think he got a ticket? Nope!!!! And I ended up with a "repaired" car. You can't tell it had anything ever done to it but I know it's done.
