Ever Get Rear Ended?

I've been rear ended before. If I had not had my foot firmly on the break I would have been pushed into the intersection no question about it.

Never let your foot of the brake at a stop light. It's a great way to get rear-ended. Especially if you're in a tall vehicle where the person in front of you can't see the light (does not apply in the Z).

Yep...drivers only stop when they see red taillights. It's good to tap your brakes if you're at the end of the stack. Hopefully you'll wake up the approaching driver.

It's good that people don't need to signal to brake. We'd have more accidents.
