    Today's one was a driver reversing:

    The driver checked the mirror, proceeded to reverse "until the reverse sensor buzzer was constant" then there was a bang!

    I deal with RTA's every day. I get Accident report forms sent to me all the time and I always get a laugh when I read the descriptions of the incident.

    In EVERY case its ALWAYS someone else's fault! If there's no one else involved it's the fault of the road, the weather, etc. etc.

    Some of the descriptions are very funny.

    Eh the car in front stopped suddenly and "left me with no option but to run into him" ( no mention of trying to apply the brakes! :)

    Oh and OP? IMO, your at fault, sorry.

    I work with Road Safety Engineers on the design side (I design, the critique). We arent allowed to call them accidents any more. Accident implies no one was at fault but as above its always some ones (or multiple peoples) fault.

    In my case they rammed into the back of my car twice, then did a runner...

    First time I was just shy of the 100 km/h speed limit. 2nd was after I had stopped following the initial collision.

    Reckon it was the other drivers fault on both occasions....

    A paid assassin so.

    Wasn't there a case last year that some lad out training crashed in to the back of a stationary car (I think in Cork on the N20 but cant find it).

    I think that went to court.
