or if someone pulls out in front of you, or if the car in front comes to a stop without braking, e.g. if they hit the car in front of them...
always is such a bad word to use for something like that. mostly or usually, yes, but not always.

If someone pulls out in front of you it's not a rear-ending. However, your other scenario, for example - someone on a motorway hits a car in front and you rear-end them. It's *your* fault.

Your job is to allow safe stopping distance.

I also have little sympathy for people who get caught by crash-for-cash. If you'd left safe stopping distance in front of you then they could slam on their anchors as hard as they like and you'd still stop in time...

I agree on the first part but the second I don't. One of the things they do in crash for cash is disable the break lights. Then they pull off at a junction before swerving back in at the last second and slamming the breaks on. But as there is no light and they are coming in from beside you it is very easy to hit them.

The other one which I nearly got caught with is they sit in the road and indicate right then pull over right in front of you so you t bone them then all of the people in the car swear you flashed them. You don't need to be a bad driver to get caught.

If someone pulls out in front of you, there's a very good chance you can hit the back of their car, especially if they're changing lane and pull in front, but also if they're coming out of a junction, depending on the speed involved.
And in the motorway scenario, if the car in front displays brake lights, then yes you should have enough distance, but if they stop without doing so, as in my example, then you can't really do anything as you can't tell they're stopping until it's too late, and a collision is unavoidable. then it is not your fault.
Just admit it, you used an absolute, when in fact there are scenarios where it doesn't always apply. that is the point I was making.

I don't accept that one bit. You don't need break lights to understand that a car is slowing down. You can easily tell, broken break lights or not.

I stand corrected on the crash for cash stuff tho. I thought it was just some mug breaking in front of you - and break lights or no you can easily tell when a car is breaking...

Howsabout if you're on a normal B-road (one lane each way), and some muppet overtakes you on a clear bit of road but then suddenly loses their nerve about passing the car in front as well (which you're a proper distance behind) so he brakes suddenly and tries to slot in in front of you but then, in the same instant, the car in front of him is slowing because the car in front of him (bear with me) has slowed because there's a cyclist (lol) so the car who just pulled in in front of you brakes more and you go into the back of him? HUH?

I mean, it's obviously all the cyclist's fault...

I'd expect you to see that someone's overtaking, and that other's actions can create unforseen consequences, so as he overtakes you're prepared for him to suddenly pull in in front of you - because that sort of shit happens all the time and shouldn't come as any surprise whatsoever @caLLous :)

Er...



I hope he enjoyed his career while it lasted. It probably won't make the blindest bit of difference but... that's bad.

Hmm, to be fair to him though he released the video himself because somebody was trying to blackmail him with it.

Someone seriously needs to kick seven bails of shit out of the little prick

But like you say, nothing will happen and no one will care enough to do anything about it

He has released the video himself to own up to it. His stupid little fans will forgive this and I am sure after some grovelling and some community service this blows over like every other shitty thing this little waste of sperm does gets forgotten.

possible, supersu tries to retain root across updates but it will depend how you rooted.

Hmm... after deleting it from the cache im still seeing the "touch to install" notification after 2 reboots.

You know what. I amended that from brake lights to break lights too. Even after the last time you told me.

Must be one of those mental blocks on certain words. I remember when I was 6 or 7 I had a problem spelling "people" for some reason...
