If it bleeds, kill it.

So, I was having a pretty good day and after TAFE, I went out to Derwent Park to get some oil for the car. Slows down for the RED light, notice a car getting very comfy with my ***. They hit me about 3 times, only lightly. Looks around, theres a young woman, with her hands up apoligetically, I signal for her to turn the corner. Lights go green, shes still right up my ***, I took my eyes off of her to take the corner, didnt get a chance to get her license number or even what kind of car she was driving, she goes straight ahead. I couldnt do anything about it. So now ive got some paint missing.

I know its only a minor incident, but I thought that if you were involved in any accident at all, that you had to stop?

After all that, go home and have to take my Mum over to town to pick her car up. On the way back, I nearly get taken out twice more, and saw about 5 other very dangerous incidents.

Ive never seen such stupidity in one day until today. It follows you around when youve had an accident.

My mums had similar happen but I've followed her before. She's brake happy hence getting run up the ИИИИ all the time. My dad goes right off because her brake happiness wrecks the rotors.

Your best defense is to drive defensively not carefully ;) You can't control other people unfortunately.
