one time i was driving my friends "work" car, and im doin about 45 behind a big ass van. i had just said, "i'm a pretty good driver" like 5 minutes ago. all of a sudden, i guess traffic was backed up ahead of the van, and she wasn't paying attention, and she slams the car in front of her, no brakes or nothing, full speed....just BOOM! i couldn't see around her van to see that traffic was backed up, so when it happened i panic'd and slammed on the brakes, and slid into her.

the car she hit, smashed the car in front of it, and the next 2 cars in front of them. it sucked bad, and my friend got demoted for letting me drive.
