It had to happen,
My wife's been driving down that road everyday for the last 3 years and this afternoon it was her turn to get caught in the once a week nose to tail. Thankfully she's fine (a bit shaken and a few aches) but the car on the other hand is a mess.
Approaching the usual slow point at Garden City she came to a complete stop about half a car length behind the car in front of her. She said there was about a 5 second delay before the idiot behind slammed into her. The force pushed her car into the guy in front (a senior detective from Roma St. headquarters).
Consensus amongst the tow truck drivers and myself is that we won't see the car again. No boot left and the back seat was pushed up just behind the front seats. Neither door could be opened and there's a crease right across the roof from B-pillar to B-pillar. Plus the front damage. We'll have to wait and see what the insurer says.
Terrible bloody road!
