Bit of a shitty one. You could argue he was driving like a muppet as he slammed on the brakes so hard, but then again there are valid reasons for a driver to have to do so, and at the end of the day you shouldnt be so close that you cant brake in time.
I went into the back of a landrover once. Went straight into his rear window head first and then fell onto the pavement. Helmet took the grunt of the impact. I still feel like he was a twat for driving the way he did but at the end of the day I blame myself for tailgaiting him the way I was. Lesson learnt.
