Ya, i think most of us have "rear ended at a stop" stories about our cars.
But my point was how bad this would suck if you were on your bike. I mean, damn.... some people get majorly fubared when in their car. When it happened to me in my car i was waiting to make a left across traffic but saw the woman coming in my rear view so i let off the brake before impact. My bumper was scratched and her car was totaled. But if you are on your bike you can most likely kiss your butt goodbye, especially if another car is in front of you.
