Whammo
On our way to dinner earlier this evening, I had a "driving incident."
We were motoring down Ray (a 6 lane divided road) when the light in front of us turned yellow. As it happens, there as a Nissan Sentra in front of us who came to a halt at the yellow light, and a very short while later, I came to a screeching halt on his bumper. As luck would have it, there was literally no damage - not even a visible sign of dirt being smudged on either car, so he waved it off and we went on our way. I would guess that we impacted him at perhaps 5mph - enough to make a noise and to feel an impact, but not enough to do anything more.
In hindsight, this isn't totally unexpected - I've known for some time now that the brakes in the Mustang are pretty close to shot. It's time to get those looked at before my luck takes a turn for the worse. I'm also pleasantly surprised that the guy we hit waved this off. I was fully expecting a full insurance rundown and whiplash, even though this was a non-event. After all, we live in a world that loves to blame and sue rather than forgive and forget. Perhaps there's hope for us as a society after all.
