Isn't it wonderful when you have to pay for another's mistake?!

Thanks for the information. Yah I came to know about that after the collision. I was taught about the 2 secs rule at the defensive driving course. And yah, hardly anyone does that and if you want to do it, someone won't let you. But then again, its was my responsibility so cannot argue.

Well, it was my very first car that I owned. I even paid $260 for repairing the steering pressure hose only 2 days before the accident and filled the tank too; and not to mention the amount of money that just vanished due to my stupid decision of taking it to Canadian Tire. Thanks

I loved my first car a lot more than my first girlfriend so I get it. Sucks.
