Transportation: Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse...

Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML

Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML

Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I was driving in my very own car that I bought and paid for myself, when I stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed the truck in front of me turn on his reverse lights. I honked desperately. He hits me, looks out the window and says, "I see no damage" and drives away. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML

Today, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML

Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML

You can fix the car, but you can't fix stupid.

Sounds like what people do in a parking lot to get a parking spot.

Something similar happened to me but the guy was road raging and intentionally reversed and backed into me!! People are so rude. And dumb. My insurance company still got me for rear ending. I hope your situation pans out better!!

Wonder if the cops took this psycho into a psych ward, because that's where they belong.

That person knows that the lights are on the back of a car, right?

The happened to me at a red light a few years ago. The cops, insurance and tow truck didn't believe that we didn't rear end him... It was a nightmare trying to figure it out. Good luck!!

In New Zealand, it's really common for people to pull up right behind someone who's clearly showing they want to reverse parallel park. We're talking indicators on; slowing down and pulling alongside the car you want to park behind; putting the car in reverse so the reversing lights come on; the whole bit. Yet someone stops two inches off your back bumper. I just sit there and wait until they figure out how stupid they are and go around me.
