Not trying to hijack your thread, I got into an accident last week. Guy come out of mc donalds not watching, trying to eat his mcmuffin and cut me off then slammed on his brakes UNDER A GREEN LIGHT! I was already locked up and couldn't stop any more. I hit him about 5-10 mph. Did about $200 damage to my truck. But his Kia Rio's trunk was in his back seat. Worst of all i got a ticket for careless driving. But i did knock his mcmuffin out his window.
After that i decided to buy a heavy duty bumper like the one in the picture below. Moral of the story: dont eat and drive.
