My one and only car accident - I ran into the back of the car in front of me. She was driving a nice BMW and pulled to a stop pretty smartly for a zebra crossing on a rainy road. I was a reasonable distance behind her (reasonable in my mind) but my crappy Peugeot's brakes were just not up to it. I cruised in slow motion into her bumper (pedestrian barriers on one side and traffic queue on the other meant I had nowhere to go).
Since then I give the car in front plenty of space - even if it means letting another 1-2 cars out and find somewhere to pull over if I have someone behind me determined to ride my arse.
