I was rear ended at a red light. Partially my fault, though no insurance company would ever say so. I was going to make a right on red at a city intersection with buildings set five feet back from the road. I wasn't watching my rear view, and I came up on the intersection pretty fast - 7mph or so. I had to spike my brakes because some guy was flying through his green light at 15mph over the speed limit, and BAM! 6000lbs of steel accelerated my little golf cart from 0-10mph in zero seconds. No damage aside from the bumper.
I no longer turn right on red at that intersection, to the immense annoyance of the locals.
So that's how you can get into a rear-end collision. Metro, how do you avoid them?
