Distracted for 1 second...

Took my eye off the road for 1 second and rear ended a Navigator making an illegal U turn. Of course, the cops summoned me for following too close. Thank God nobody hurt. Lesson learned.

** Update ** Cop just called me back. A witness called in with dash cam footage. Not my fault.

1LE without PDR?

nevermind, not 1LE

i wish i they had a dash cam mode that turns PDR on each time you drive...i have a good habit of turning it on, but still.

Thanks all! And yes, a thoughtful witness with a dash cam saved the day for me. The cop said the video clearly showed the lady attempted a left turn (or u turn) from the right turn lane. Crossed right in front of me. I hit her left rear bumper almost perpendicular to my direction of travel.

Need to await the insurance determination. I can't imagine it not being totaled. Fluids leaking everywhere. Driver's side front wheel broken off axle. Etc. Don't know why the airbag didn't deploy though...
