Make that 8. I was rear ended last week. It caused a small ding near the centre of the bumper, but it felt a lot worst then it looks.

Both cars was waiting to make a right turn, the guy behind me thought I had already cleared the intersection while looking the other way for on-coming traffic. (In Canada, is OK to make a right turn on a red light and some people don't pay attention to what's directly in front of them since they're busy making sure the way is clear). I did the same mistake several time when I was a newbie driver, but luckily, I was quick enough to stop before rear ending the guy in front of me. Anyways, the damage didn't seem bad and the guy seem like the family sort with a little daughter in the MiniVAn. So, I let him off the hook. Just another battle scar to add to myriad of other dings and scratches on my Yaris.

I've done that once myself when I was 16. I had just finished christmas shopping so I was really really tired and wanted to go home. And I thought the person had gone cuz they pulled up and kept going but nope they stopped. Thankfully, it didn't cause any damage and since they were in such good holiday spirits, they dind't report it to insurance or anything. just told me merry christmas.
