Guess what....a tiny little VW Lupo decided to help me break this evening by allowing me to use his rear bumper as a stop!!! Cheers then, and to add insult to injury his car had no damage whilst mine has a pair of broken headlights, a trashed bonnet and front spoiler and bumper.
Don't mess with little VW's , they're tough

Question

Errrrrm doesnt that mean that you were driving too close to the car infront of you and not leaving enough distance for you to stop safely??????
