In the space of a few month 2 people have been very nice to me and decided to go into the back of my superb, luckily both were at low speed and my car only got a little crack in the bumper and the number plate snapped, the 2nd one was with me moving at about 15 mph and I guy in a golf gti just kissing the bumper but then sped off, so in the space of 2 years I have had 3 rear endings, 2 in the superb which is not even a year old, and one in my Octavia, so many people these days not paying attention!

Could be your style of driving?

;) ;)

Maybe they thought it would improve the looks of the rear??

Apart from 'crash for cash' - (not sure how much of that is going on in Scotland), the most common cause of rear-ending is driver distraction, and increasingly the most common cause of driver distraction is texting. See it way too often.

 

How often I have looked in my rear view mirror and find myself mouthing "would you get your eyes back on the road" to the guy ( or girl) behind. You know full well that if you had to brake suddenly, they would be right into you. I guess it's no different in England.

I'm assuming you got the reg number of the Golf and have reported it to the Police!?

 

I was amazed the first time you got hit and you didn't claim for the damage.

no I did manage to claim from the merc driver after all, and it all got fixed under insurance, and the golf just sped off didn't get any reg
