Dashcam Footage of Dart Rearended

I have been considering getting a mirror mounted cam just for stupid stuff like you experienced, what are you using?

I haven't figured out how to quote someone in an edit, so this is what Treblig said,

Begin quote

I always tell my kids that when you're coming to a stop always leave plenty of room in front of your car, especially a quick stop, always look in the rear view mirror to see if there's an idiot running up on your rear end. Sometimes pumping your brake lights and leaving room to move your car forward can save you a stiff neck. As I brake I always take a quick look in the rear view mirror. Sorry about the accident and hope everyone is OK. Treblig

End quote.

My son is only seven, but I always push my head back against the headrest when I apply the brakes, and tell him to do the same, just in case someone hits us from behind.
