    Even if someone slams on the brakes for no reason at all you should still leave enough room to stop. Otherwise you are following to closely.

    Doesn't matter. Like was said, it is your responsibility to leave enough room in case a driver has to hit their brakes. You think maybe he slammed his brakes because you were following too close?

    The rule of thumb is to leave 3 or 4 seconds between you and the driver in front of you. That means the faster the speed, the bigger the gap.

    Maybe he thought you already were.

    But yeah, regardless, I would have given him a severe beat down.

    Speaking of.. Ya know that dusting we got yesterday? Well I was at work on a smoke break and I saw an accord drive right off the highway. He didn't hit anything, and was trying to drive back up this quite steep hill. 25 mins later a tow truck shows up

    that was the most exciting thing that happened all day.

    Back from the dead...

    Today on my daily commute back from work a tie rod snapped going around a sharp corner. Car veered right, and ate a curb. Got it towed to the shop, put it on the lift... and it does not look pretty. Rim is junk, tie rod, control arm, knuckles, struts, cradle is bent, etc. Not a good day for me, or my beloved Regal GS!

    Honestly, that's not TOO bad given it could have been a lot worse any time a tie rod goes. The only part that's going to suck is the cradle.
