2 days ago I got in a little accident on I95. It was luckily very minor. It was around Gateway Blvd. northbound, and that place is always jammed around 6-7pm as many lanes merge into two. Anyway, first the guy in front of me slams on his brakes. Then I do and successfully stop before hitting him. Then I watch in my rear-view and see the guy behind me successfully stop ok.

At that point I'm like 'whew' and go on listening to my music. Then BAM, the guy behind me runs into me. It turns out a lady behind him hit his car which pushed it into mine. We all 3 pulled over and I didn't get any damage to my rear bumper. Neither did the guy behind me to his front bumper. We decided it was not enough to report it. I'm not sure what happened to his rear bumper, but the lady was apologizing profusely saying she had a baby in her car distracting her, etc. I said "is everyone ok?" and then took off. No point in increasing my insurance over this if everyone agrees to let it slide.

Anyhow, I95 sucks.
