Really pissed off about it... Was on my way to work going through my local town and got to a roundabout. I was the 2nd car in line and was waiting for the car infront to pull away. She pulled out so I followe donly to realise she stopped again, so I went straight into the back of her.

Wapped the hazards on and got out to check the damage, hers was spotless and I'd just scratched the bumper a tiny bit. Offered to give her all my details etc but she wasn't fussed and said just to leave it..

Long story short I got away with it, but pissed off for doing something so stupid. First time I've ever so much as touched another car in 5 years of driving...

This one was old and daft... Must've just touched her and no more, I didnt even feel it.. Was only a 2cm scratch on the bumper so pretty lucky..

I know that mate, exactly why I'm pissed off with myself for doing it..

I was just too tired and not paying enough attention..

ive done the exact same thing before, my first and only bump, the guy stopped after he pulled away. I only got a little crack in the bumper though - even so, its very annoying, especially when you have been driving well for so long.

Seems a common little bump.

I done this in my old car a few months ago.

I was so pissed off at myself for days because of it, but when the other driver just stops, you can't do much about it.

don't drive 10mm's away from the car in front then

i hate people who drive really close to me when they are behind... what's the point? your not getting anywhere quicker because i'll still be in front

anyone who does it deserves a claim to their name.
