Lucky I was on my bike this morning

So I'm riding to work for the first time this year when all the cars ahead decide to do an emergency stop... I have plenty of space and so stop in plenty of time - then move to between the white line and central reservation in case the car behind doesn't.

Low and behold a golf stops next to me, whilst behind him there are screams of brakes and tyres.

Thank god I was on my bike and could get out of the way. If I was in my volvo I would be looking at some serious damage now.

Thank god I decided to get out of the way as well

Been there. Didn't give it any thought other than what a **** the guys behind me were. When I got home I started thinking what could have happened. Nasty!

Glad you are OK though.

Luck does not come into it, more like fate. Glad your OK, theres good advice here too. I'll take it. - Never be last in a queue.

Never do what i did this morning either and get annoyed at some guy cutting me up, then power round him giving him the finger and realise the car in front has its brakes on........

Eh, funny, on friday I was thinking I was glad to be in the car after some half witted chav steped out in front of me. ABS saves the day

Since all chavs are, by definition, half-witted this one must be only quarter witted

Damn right. Most couldnt outwit local plant life, but at its an exceptionaly stupid chav that plays with the traffic, especialy while not in a nova

Good thinking though!

If you are last in the queue any new arrivals hit you from behind. Very good advice, I'd say.

... missed the opportunity to run over a Chav? How's that a good thing?!

Modern cars crumple to much when you hit anything - is it really worth the damage to your car?
