A fender  bender with NO injures making the news 

What next ... "bus avoids accident by using brakes"

 

I stumped my toe last week, and completely bruised under the nail.  DailyMail wouldn't pay me for the story, hence not reported.

Funny as it seems...I was rear ended  a while back   in an emergency braking situation on Sukhumvit Rd. i was told by the Police and my own insurance company  exactly that... that i had stopped to quick.... I have since changed my insurance company
