lets just say I've seen both guys in both accidents that ran into me. First one was twilight. So both our heatlights are on, and the other guy it was day light so headlights were off.

When you learn to drive here you're taught to have a quick peak in the rear vision mirror every 10 seconds to be aware of who is around you. That's how I drive, I know the situation of cars in front and behind. In accident 1 we were cut off and traffic was congested ahead so I had to break a little hard to avoid having an accident myself. The other guy had plenty of room to stop but he wasn't concentrating and pretty much braked last second not realising everyone ahead had almost stopped.

Accidnet two. Was stopped at a railway crossing. The guy just smacked right into me, in what was a bloody retarded rear end accident, as his approach to my car was pretty slow, just that he failed to break.

Believe it or not, we're taught to use mirrors here as well. Your original story painted the picture of someone smashing into you in the dark and you said you didn't understand how they could not have seen you when you had seen them. I was trying to explain why you might have seen his lights first. I'm not disputing that it shouldn't have happened and was careless driving, I was just trying to put a point across regarding lights.
