Gutted, I think I was close to getting rear ended by a corsa on the M5 the other day, although she managed to stop behind me.  I was cringing.  She still insisted on tailgating me closely after that too.  I just slowed down and let an ever bigger gap than usual in front so I could brake gently if the traffic stopped again.

Doesn't that kind of driving make you want to just get out and shoot them!!

It makes me want to let them do it.. then accelerate faster than they can.. then let them catch up
.. then repeat until boredom sets in, then move over and let them do it to the next person who is massively holding them up.

First impressions aside, (no speaky English) I feared the worst insurance wise, but his details all checked out and he's fully covered! :shocked:
One phone call to Admiral, the car is booked in for an estimate on Monday, & I apparently get a like for like hire car whilst mine is being fixed  :smug:
I think the bumper & diffuser will need replacing and the exhaust checking over.

Ide demand them to change everything
