Default TT escapes injury!

Tonight coming home on the highway, everyone did one of those "slam on the brakes for no reason" things. So I did too of course. I was worried about the pickup behind me slamming into me. But he didn't hit me. Instead, he was hit. This is the second time that's happened where the car behind me got rear-ended after everyone got on the brakes hard. The first one wasn't bad, but this one I actually heard the impact over my radio. Not good. Felt bad for the pickup, but I'm glad the TT emerged unscathed.

And if you're wondering why I writing this - it's holiday season. That's means people are crazed, hurried and crazed more on the roads. So keep a good following distance and watch your back!

This has been your public service announcement, brought to you by Audi - makers of our favorite car.

I hear you, I'm always worried the car behind me can't keep up with the TT's brakes

Default I'm always generous with my following distance just for reasons like this...

...too bad most other drivers are not as careful and it really PO's me when someone is following too close. Good to hear that you are unscathed.
